There is a warning message triggered by the early table chekcusm
verification during boot. Large tables cannot be installed on x86 platforms
due to this failure. The root cause is the size limitation of the current
x86 early mapping implementation, it's thus not suitable to be used to map
ACPI tables.

This patchset fixes this regression by stopping verifying table checksums
during the early boot stage.
Both queued up for 3.16.

If they are needed in -stable, please take care of sending an appropriate
inclusion request to stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx after they have been merged into
the Linus' tree.
I checked.
The affected code can only be found in linux-pm.git/linux-next.
So they are not needed in -stable.

Thanks for checking!

Rafael
