The implementation of the feature acpi_table_initrd_init()
(drivers/acpi/tables.c) works with initrd data represented as an array
in virtual memory.  It uses some library utility to find the redefined
tables in that array and iterates over it to copy the data to new
allocated memory.  So we need to rewrite it considerably to access the
initrd data via fixmap.

In x86 arch, linear kernel memory is already mapped by the time when
early_initrd_acpi_init() and acpi_boot_table_init() are called so I
think that we can just move this mapping one function earlier too.

Is it ok?

I will address your other comments in the next version of the patchset.

Thank you
