Subject: [PATCH] x86, acpi: Remove out-of-date comment of __acpi_map_table

From: Zhang Yanfei <zhangyanfei@...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 So remove its out-of-date
comment.

- * By using this area, we can map up to MAX_IO_APICS pages temporarily,

- * Important Safety Note:  The fixed I/O APIC page numbers are *subtracted*
