I think acpi_root_table_init() is a bit confusing with
acpi_boot_table_init(). Perhaps, something like
acpi_boot_table_pre_init() or early_acpi_boot_table_init() is better to
indicate that this new function is called before acpi_boot_table_init().

The comment of this function needs to be updated. For instance, it
describes acpi_table_init(), which you just relocated.
* acpi_table_init() is separate to allow reading SRAT without

I think this check is still necessary.
