What about acpi_force_table_verification?

It's better to write this condition as

	if (acpi_verify_table_checksum) {
		pr_info("Early table checksum verification enabled\n");
		acpi_gbl_verify_table_checksum = TRUE;
	} else {
		pr_info("Early table checksum verification disabled\n");
		acpi_gbl_verify_table_checksum = FALSE;
	}
