ACPI: disable ACPI cleanly when bad RSDP found
commit 9e3a9d1ed8cc8db93e5c53e9a5b09065bd95de8b upstream.
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.
