The root cause is: 1. ACPICA doesn't split IO memory mapping and table mapping; 2. Linux x86 OSL implements acpi_os_map_memory() using a size limited fix-map mechanism during early boot stage, which is more suitable for only IO mappings. This patch fixes this issue by utilizing acpi_gbl_verify_table_checksum to disable the table mapping during early stage and enabling it again for the late stage. In this way, the normal code path is not affected. Then after the code related to the root cause is cleaned up, the early checksum verification can be easily re-enabled. A new boot parameter - acpi_force_table_verification is introduced for the platforms that require the checksum verification to stop loading bad tables. This fix also covers the checksum verification for the table overrides. Now large tables can also be overridden using the initrd override mechanism.
