We actually don't really need to do that thing so early, I think. It looks like
we only need to make it available early enough for the AER driver to be able to
use it, so I wonder if moving the acpi_hest_init() to a separate
subsys_initcall() will work around the problem. That is, something like the
patch below.
But even if this helps, I will be wanting to understand what's up here.
Thanks,
Rafael
