    ACPI: disable ACPI cleanly when bad RSDP found · 9e3a9d1e

    When ACPI is disabled in the BIOS of this VIA C3 box,
    it invalidates the RSDP, which Linux notices:
    
    ACPI Error (tbxfroot-0218): A valid RSDP was not found [20080926]
    
    Bug Linux neglected to disable ACPI at that stage,
    and later scribbled on smp_found_config:
    
    ACPI: No APIC-table, disabling MPS
    
    But this box doesn't run well in legacy PIC mode,
    it needed IOAPIC mode to perform correctly:

    So exit ACPI mode cleanly when we first detect
    that it is hopeless.
