ARM64 / ACPI: Introduce early_param "acpi=" to enable/disable ACPI
This implements the following policy to decide whether ACPI should be used to boot the system: - acpi=off: ACPI will not be used to boot the system, even if there is no alternative available (e.g., device tree is empty) - acpi=force: only ACPI will be used to boot the system; if that fails, there will be no fallback to alternative methods (such as device tree) - otherwise, ACPI will be used as a fallback if the device tree turns out to lack a platform description; the heuristic to decide this is whether /chosen is the only node present at depth 1 CC: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> CC: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> CC: Rafael J.
