    Pull initial ACPI support for arm64 from Will Deacon:
     "This series introduces preliminary ACPI 5.1 support to the arm64
      kernel using the "hardware reduced" profile.  We don't support any
      peripherals yet, so it's fairly limited in scope:
    
       - MEMORY init (UEFI)
    
       - ACPI discovery (RSDP via UEFI)
    
       - CPU init (FADT)
    
       - GIC init (MADT)
    
       - SMP boot (MADT + PSCI)
    
       - ACPI Kconfig options (dependent on EXPERT)
    
      ACPI for arm64 has been in development for a while now and hardware
      has been available that can boot with either FDT or ACPI tables.  This
      has been made possible by both changes to the ACPI spec to cater for
      ARM-based machines (known as "hardware-reduced" in ACPI parlance) but
      also a Linaro-driven effort to get this supported on top of the Linux
      kernel.  This pull request is the result of that work.
    
      These changes allow us to initialise the CPUs, interrupt controller,
      and timers via ACPI tables, with memory information and cmdline coming
      from EFI.  We don't support a hybrid ACPI/FDT scheme.  Of course,
      there is still plenty of work to do (a serial console would be nice!)
      but I expect that to happen on a per-driver basis after this core
      series has been merged.
    
      Anyway, the diff stat here is fairly horrible, but splitting this up
      and merging it via all the different subsystems would have been
      extremely painful.  Instead, we've got all the relevant Acks in place
      and I've not seen anything other than trivial (Kconfig) conflicts in
      -next (for completeness, I've included my resolution below).  Nearly
      half of the insertions fall under Documentation/.
    
      So, we'll see how this goes.  Right now, it all depends on EXPERT and
      I fully expect people to use FDT by default for the immediate future"
