[PATCH 7 of 7] x86: always explicitly map acpi memory

From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge
Date: Sun Sep 07 2008 - 18:26:48 EST


Always map acpi tables, rather than assuming we can use the normal
linear mapping to access the acpi tables. This is necessary in a
virtual environment where the linear mappings are to pseudo-physical
memory, but the acpi tables exist at a real physical address. It
doesn't hurt to map in the normal non-virtual case, so just do it
unconditionally.
