Agreed. This will remove unneeded acpica code. I think though, you should also check the FADT flag HW_REDUCED_ACPI at boot to make sure that the tables are HW reduced compliant. I am flagging this up because I noticed code in core code (not guarded by ifdef) that checks: acpi_gbl_reduced_hardware and if it is not set it goes on instantiating fixed HW devices. drivers/acpi/scan.c:2567 It is just a heads up, I think it is harmless, but one thing is removing acpica code on ACPI HW reduced only, the other is to make sure the kernel does not try to use ACPI HW features that acpica can't support.
