From: Zhang Yanfei <zhangyanfei@cn.fujitsu.com>

The implementation of function __acpi_map_table() has been changed
long time ago, and now it directly invokes early_ioremap() to setup
the temporarily acpi table mappings. So correct its out-of-date
comment.

-v2: Replace the comment with a simple correct one instead of removing
     it -- suggested by Ingo
