Fix the linker warning (noise) from section mismatch in ACPI caused
because the function acpi_processor_power_init's references can't be
evaluated at compile time. It uses "first_run" flag and therefore
changes behaviour after first use, and compiler/linker can't see that.
This does cost slightly more dead data.
