Commit 1a1c130ab757 ("ACPI: tables: x86: Reserve memory occupied by
ACPI tables") attempted to address an issue with reserving the memory
occupied by ACPI tables, but it broke the initrd-based table override
mechanism relied on by multiple users.

To restore the initrd-based ACPI table override functionality, move
the acpi_boot_table_init() invocation in setup_arch() on x86 after
the acpi_table_upgrade() one.

George, can you please check if this reintroduces the issue addressed by
the above commit for you?

This is fairly late; especially, it's after actual allocations -- see e820__memblock_alloc_reserved_mpc_new().

Can't the table upgrade mechanism fix up when adjusting something? Some details on what actually breaks would be helpful.
