OK
I don't see any adverse effects of the patch below on a couple of my test
boxes, but (a) they are Intel-based and (b) they are non-EFI, so it would be
good to give it a go on as many machines as reasonably possible.

Subject: ACPI / init: Run acpi_early_init() before efi_enter_virtual_mode()
According to Matt Fleming, if acpi_early_init() was executed befpre
efi_enter_virtual_mode(), the EFI initialization could benefit from
it, so make that happen.
