Subject: [PATCH v2] x86, acpi: Correct out-of-date comment of __acpi_map_table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 So correct its out-of-date
comment.

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

- * Temporarily use the virtual area starting from FIX_IO_APIC_BASE_END,

- * 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*
- * from the fixed base.  That's why we start at FIX_IO_APIC_BASE_END and
- * count idx down while incrementing the phys address.
