What's your plan to make use of alternatives here? The alternatives
patching depends on the discovery of the extensions, which is done too
late, at least after the first use of a spinlock (the printk
spinlock). So you'd need to find a way to first use qspinlocks (but
without knowing Zabha is available) and then do the correct patching:
an idea here could be to add an "init" value to the alternatives and
let the patching process do the right thing when the extensions are
known.

Another solution would be the early discovery of the extensions, but I
took a look and it's easy with a device tree, but not with ACPI.

Let me know what you plan to do and how I can help!

Thanks,

Alex
