Most of the maintainers have nowadays filters to flag e-mail with them CCed and look less often to rest. If you want to draw attention to your patch, you should CC relevant maintainers (you can find them in MAINTAINERS).


   In __acpi_map_table(), it suppose all ACPI tables may not exceed 4 pages.

The spaces at the beginning of every lines in the commit message are not necessary.

   but nowadays ACPI tables, such as SRAT table, are large enough, On my
   BIOS board, the SRAT table achieves the size of 14428B, although it's
   above 3 pages and within 4pages, but in __acpi_map_table(), it maps
pages
   to get the table. suppose the start address is near the end of the first 
page:

         1000B    4096B         4096B          4096B   1140B

        |___|_____________|______________|______________|____|

   although the total page is within 4pages , but it may be in fact across 5

s/4pages/4 pages/

   pages, thus the NUM_FIXMAP_ACPI_PAGES should be at least 5 nowadays.
If
   not, xen would wrongly thinks no NUMA configuation could be found as that

s/configuation/configuration/

it
   could not get SRAT table.

Your signed-off-by is missing here.
