Erik already sent a pull request to merge this patch to ACPICA repo.

After he updated the ACPICA commit ID, he sent it to me for Linux
submission.

I am not sure whether there is a special process for ACPICA related
submission to Linux kernel. But if I had to guess, since I have sent
both SVKL and MADT patches at the same time, Erik might have assumed
that it should be merged in the same patch set and hence sent to me
for upstream submission.

If this submission is incorrect, I can request Erik to submit it again
for upstream merge.
