I woulnd't make this and the other one user-selectable.  Let architectures
select them from their top-level Kconfig files.

That's what we do with the other CONFIG_ARCH_ things.

So in the architecture-specific Kconfig you'll have

config ACPI_ARCH_SPECIFIC_OSI
	def_bool n
	depends on ACPI

Moreover, I'd call that ARCH_SPECIFIC_ACPI_OSI.

And analogously for the blacklist thing (and do we need two of them really?).

No, no.  Please no osi-arm.c or blacklist-arm.c in drivers/acpi/.
The arch-specific stuff needs to go into arch/
