What about:
"The ACPI code requires to use global variables in order to collect
information from the tables.
To make clear those variables are ACPI specific, gather all of them in a
single structure.
Furthermore, even if some of the variables are not marked with
__initdata, they are all only used during the initialization. Therefore,
the new variable, which hold the structure, can be marked __initdata."
