That's some very strange english. Please improve.

Please introduce a spellchecker into your patch creation workflow.

Btw, this paragraph could be used for a CONFIG_ item you could define
for your particular use case. Because right now you have funnies like:
+#if (defined CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE) && (defined CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE)
+vmlinux-objs-$(CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE) += $(obj)/acpitb.o
+#endif
where CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE is repeated for no good reason.
But we'll see - need to get to the end of your patch series first.

What's that cast for?
Ah, this is the version in acpi_tb_checksum(). Well, I'd write this
simply as:
sum += *(buffer++);

You mean: "All addresses used here are physical."?
"memory map jobs"?
Please be more careful when writing comments which are going to be read
by other people. "jobs" means a lot of things and you don't want "jobs"
in that context here.

Same remark as before: the function is void and you're returning through
its parameter. Make it return acpi_physical_address instead.

Why do you even need to say that here?

arch/x86/boot/compressed/acpitb.c: In function ‘bios_get_rsdp_addr’:
arch/x86/boot/compressed/acpitb.c:172:14: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Wint-to-pointer-cast]
table_ptr = (u8 *)address;
^
Also, that is some crazy casting here and I think you could use
unsigned longs here for all the address arithmetic and cast to
acpi_physical_address only at the end.

And this comment needs to be repeated here because... ?
