So I don't disagree with the fix in principle, but the implementation here is 
rather ugly - it spreads new non-obvious #ifdefs across various critical parts of 
the kernel.

For example this:

>  #ifdef CONFIG_X86_64
> +#ifdef CONFIG_ACPI_NUMA
> +	if (!no_iommu && acpi_get_max_possible_pfn() > MAX_DMA32_PFN)
> +#else
>  	if (!no_iommu && max_pfn > MAX_DMA32_PFN)
> +#endif
>  		swiotlb = 1;
>  #endif

could be cleaned up by introducing a proper max_possible_pfn variable, and setting 
it from the ACPI code - instead of exporting acpi_get_max_possible_pfn().

Another pattern is:

> +#ifdef CONFIG_ACPI_HOTPLUG_MEMORY
> +	if (!acpi_no_memhotplug)
> +		return max_possible_pfn;
> +#endif

this should be driven from the acpi_no_memhotplug knob, instead of spreading 
acpi_no_memhotplug uses to other callsites.

Furthermore, please split these various steps up into multiple steps (and first do 
the preparatory changes, then fix the bug in the end) - to make it easier to 
bisect and analyze if we regress existing functionality somewhere.

Thanks,

	Ingo
