IMO this completely doesn't explain what really happens here.

You basically want to provide your own versions of
x86_init.timers.timer_init, x86_init.irqs.pre_vector_init and
legacy_pic on some HW-reduced platforms AFAICS, so you make it
possible for the platform to provide its own variant of
acpi_reduced_hw_init().

I would say something like this:

"Some ACPI hawdware-reduced platforms need to initialize certain
devices defined by the ACPI hardware specification even though in
principle those devices should not be present in an ACPI
hawdware-reduced platform.  To allow that to happen, make it possible
to override the generic x86_init callbacks and provide a custom
legacy_pic value, add a new ->reduced_hw_early_init() callback to
struct x86_init_acpi and make acpi_reduced_hw_init() use it."

And I would retain acpi_reduced_hw_init(), but ->
