I already made comments addressing the unsuitability of the license for the
aarch64 acpi console; the proposed SPCR table format is patented by Microsoft and
licensed incompatibly with GPLv2.

That said, the aarch64 acpi console should be treated like any other prom that
starts a console and so won't suffer from this breakage.
