Thanks, Tomasz :-)
I have rebaseed my GTDT patchset on your v8 patchset,
But before I post my new patchset, I  hope we can harmonize with each
other on these:

1. ACPI_IORT --  ACPI_GTDT
2. for the file name,  maybe can follow "/drivers/acpi/acpi_*.c" like
acpi_iort.c and acpi_gtdt.c
or  follow "/drivers/acpi/apei/*.c" like iort.c and gtdt.c.

looking forward to you new patchset :-)
Thanks :-)
