Now that we have a PPTT parser, in preparation for its use
on arm64, lets build it.

We need to make a choice here. Either PPTT is considered ARM64 only and
we move code and config to drivers/acpi/arm64/Kconfig or we leave it in
drivers/acpi/pptt.c and we add a Kconfig entry in drivers/acpi/Kconfig
(and we make pptt.c compile on !ARM64 - which is what it should be given
that there is nothing ARM64 specific in it).

No one else has expressed and opinion about this here..

So i'm not sure what to think.

OTOH a lot of people didn't like it when I had it in the arm64 directory, which was my original opinion. It seems other people thought that at some point in the future other ACPI platforms would want to use it so putting it in the arm64 directory was a mistake.

So, I'm leaning towards leaving it like it is, under the assumption that when someone puts in the effort to verify it on another ACPI platform they can move the config option up 6 lines. In the meantime I don't think it should be enabled on platforms where it hasn't been tested or is basically blocked (cpu_cacheinfo->cpu_map_populated) from executing or there isn't currently any benefit.

Hence I'm planning on leaving it as is until I get further clarity.
