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().


OK, will change it to early_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

Sure. But I don't quite understand this comment. It seems that
acpi_table_init() has nothing to do with SRAT.

Do you know anything about this ?

I think this check is still necessary.


Yes. Will add it.

Thanks.
