This comment seems irrelevant now.

#ifdef CONFIG_ACPI

This is common code, and I can't see ACPI and EFI being always in the
same supported state (or else we could drop one of the two).

EFI without ACPI is certainly a possibility on ARM64.

We would need to defined a new protocol in order to boot ACPI without EFI.

Currently the ACPI fetch the rsdp pointer in 2 differents way depending of efi_enabled:
        * efi_enabled == 1 => Use EFI to get the pointer
        * efi_enabled == 0 => Use the x86 legacy mode

On ARM64, we have to use the first one. Maybe we should refactor acpi_os_get_root_pointer?
