It is just a reminder to tell people <acpi/acpi.h> inclusion here cannot be a reference for those who want to include it directly.

I have offered 2 solutions to remove this FIXME:
1. Implementing stubs for <acpi/acpi.h>, then we can move <acpi/acpi.h> inclusion out of the "#ifdef CONFIG_ACPI" block.  To achieve this, I drafted more than 10 commits.  Someone might think it was too complicated to address such an issue, but we might utilize this to kill more "#ifdef CONFIG_ACPI" blocks in the entire kernel source tree.
2. Re-defining necessary table structures for !CONFIG_ACPI builds. 1 commit was ready for this.  But having things defined twice looks ugly.
They are still under discussion.

If the decision was determined, you might see further patches sent from me to the above mentioned thread or during the ACPICA release process to remove it.

Thanks and best regards
