I would prefer this approach as well since we only enable ACPI on arm64
on patch 19. If we are to rework this, we probably end up with 3
branches: one for the base ACPI, another for irqchip and yet another to
enable ACPI on arm64 (that's unless we enable APCI on arm64 but without
any irqchip support which makes it pretty useless for testing).
