Once the patch series "Provide better MADT subtable sanity checks" got into linux-next (commit b9e11e92b9), several existing platforms were found where the firmware was doing odd things that aren't exactly correct if the ACPI specification is being followed precisely. This patch series relaxes some of the checks on MADT subtables so that these previously working systems (all x86-based) will continue to boot. For arm64, since ACPI usage is still relatively new, the stricter checking is left in place.
