I've been able to reproduce this.  The bug here (at least on my system)
is that we're calling into the ACPI code while 'acpi_disabled=1'.  The
ACPI code then notices that it hasn't been initialized (because it
should be off) and calls into the early_ioremap() code thinking that
it's in early boot.

I don't know why the bisect pinned this on the kaiser patches, or why
it's only showing up now.  It's possible that some botched TLB flush
_caused_ ACPI to get disabled at a weird time which then caused this
warning.

There are some recent changes around broadcom_postcore_init().

ACPI folks, any suggestions on what to do here?  Should we be bailing
out of acpi_os_get_root_pointer() like the attached patch?

It might also be worth an audit of all of the 'acpi_permanent_mmap'
call-sites to make sure they check acpi_disabled first.
