Note that:
In our tree:
<asm/acenv.h> is only included by <acpi/acpi.h>.
And <acpi/acpi.h> is only included by
1. <linux/acpi.h> when CONFIG_ACPI enabled
2. <linux/sfi_acpi.h> - this is x86 specific, we'll clean it up by implementing stubs for all ACPI external interfaces.
So there is no case we need to exclude <asm/acenv.h> when CONFIG_ACPI is not enabled.

I cannot find linux/match.h here.
If <linux/match.h> want to include ACPI features, it shouldn't include <acpi/acpi.h>, but should include <linux/acpi.h>.
Please refer to:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=8b48463f
And stop including <acpi/acpi.h> directly in any cases.

Thanks and best regards
