It seems to be a problem triggered because I was working on some patches 
that added obj-y at the drivers/Makefile for acpi/ and opened the ACPI 
dir for !CONFIG_ACPI compile. The code has been reworked after comments 
from Rafael. So this is no longer a problem. Please ignore patch. Sorry 
about the noise.
