Can I ask you please why we need to parse ACPI tables before
paging_init() ?
This is for future usage and because of couple of reasons. Mainly SRAT
table parsing should be done (before paging_init()) for proper NUMA
initialization and then paging_init().

Again, why is this needed ? What's needed before paging_init() from ACPI ?

Well, apart from having three init calls, one returning void and two
returning proper values, do not understand why, and do not understand
why we need three calls in the first place...why should we process MADT
twice in two separate calls ? What is supposed to change in between that
prevents you from merging the two together ?
Thanks,
Lorenzo
