Peter, I'd have to take it back - no objections to ACPI dependency for
ES7000 (since the acpi=off switch will serve our needs just fine). The
patch I had is perhaps too elaborate :) and it's easier just do it as
you suggested. As long as no worries from other genapic entities (like
Summit? or someone out there with large configuration and no ACPI), the
patch is fine with me.
Thanks,
