Rafael & Mike,
Do you still need this patch tested in the failing scenario?
Have not seen any recent activity on this.
Thank you,
George

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.
