Please add *why* this is a valid transformation (probe_table and
probe_subtbl are part of a union).

Ok, I will add a more detailed explanation.

I'd rather you add an ACPI_DECLARE_SUBTABLE_PROBE_ENTRY to acpi.h, and
use that here so that we can keep the ACPI gunk in a single place.

Ok, I will do the changes you suggested and I will resend a new version. Later, I will also send a series to clean up the checkpatch warnings and
errors for the acpi.h header.

Not necessarily a good idea. Churn for the sake of keeping checkpatch
at bay is pretty pointless. Do fix bugs if you spot any, but please
exercise judgement.

Thanks,

        M.
