Hi Yunhui,

>From that discussion it was mentioned that that arm supports 3 methods
of booting:
  direct + devicetree
  EFI + devicetree
  EFI + ACPI
..but not
  direct + ACPI

To me it isn't obvious from that or this thread, and since arm seems
to be doing fine without the 4th option I'm curious why that's
necessary on riscv?

Also you didn't answer this question, which I'd also like to hear a reply to.
