acpi=ht was important in 2003 -- before ACPI was
universally deployed and enabled by default in
the major Linux distributions.

At that time, there were a fair number of people who
or chose to, or needed to, run with acpi=off,
yet also wanted access to Hyper-threading.

Today we find that many invocations of "acpi=ht"
are accidental, and thus is it possible that it
is doing more harm than good.

In 2.6.34, we warn on invocation of acpi=ht.
In 2.6.35, we delete the boot option.

We broke "acpi=ht" in 2.6.32 by disabling MADT parsing
for acpi=disabled.  e5b8fc6ac158f65598f58dba2c0d52ba3b412f52
This also broke systems which invoked acpi=ht via DMI blacklist.

acpi=ht is a really ugly hack,
but restore it for those that still use it.

Allow consumers of the acpi_table_parse()/acpi_table_parse_entries() API
to gracefully handle the acpi_disabled=1 case via return value
rather than checking the global flag themselves.

All logical processors with APIC ID values of 255 and greater will have their
APIC reported through Processor X2APIC structure (type-9 entry type) and all
logical processors with APIC ID less than 255 will have their APIC reported
through legacy Processor Local APIC (type-0 entry type) only. This is the
same case even for NMI structure reporting.
    
The Processor X2APIC Affinity structure provides the association between the
X2APIC ID of a logical processor and the proximity domain to which the logical
processor belongs.
    
For OSPM, Procssor IDs outside the 0-254 range are to be declared as Device()
objects in the ACPI namespace.

to prevent wrongly overwriting fixmap that still want to use.

ACPI used to rely on low mappings being all linearly mapped and
grew a habit: it never really unmapped certain kinds of tables
after use.

This can cause problems - for example the hypothetical case
when some spurious access still references it.

v2: remove prev_map and prev_size in __apci_map_table
v3: let acpi_os_unmap_memory() call early_iounmap too, so remove extral calling to
early_acpi_os_unmap_memory
v4: fix typo in one acpi_get_table_with_size calling

When ACPI is disabled in the BIOS of this VIA C3 box,
it invalidates the RSDP, which Linux notices:

ACPI Error (tbxfroot-0218): A valid RSDP was not found [20080926]

Bug Linux neglected to disable ACPI at that stage,
and later scribbled on smp_found_config:

ACPI: No APIC-table, disabling MPS

But this box doesn't run well in legacy PIC mode,
it needed IOAPIC mode to perform correctly:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/2/5/39

So exit ACPI mode cleanly when we first detect
that it is hopeless.

The early_param handling function could recieve NULL pointer as argument
in case if user didn't enter parameter value.  So we have to be ready for
a such situation and do check for NULL pointer if needed.
