on two node system (16g RAM) with numa config I got this crash:
get_memcfg_from_srat: assigning address to rsdp
RSD PTR v0 [ACPIAM]
ACPI: Too big length in RSDT: 92
failed to get NUMA memory information from SRAT table
NUMA - single node, flat memory mode

Setting physnode_map array to node 0 for pfns:

=======================
this patch increases the acpi table limit to 32.
Also match early_ioremap() with early_iounmap().

This patch renames bt_ioremap to early_ioremap, which is used in
x86_64. This makes it easier to merge i386 and x86_64 usage.

This patch replaces boot_ioremap invokation with bt_ioremap and
removes the boot_ioremap implementation.

ACPI tables follow a tree structure in memory.
The root of the tree is the RSDP (Root System Description Pointer).
To find the RSDP, the OS searches for the signature "RSD PTR "
in well known physical memory locations. Then the OS computes
a table checksum to verify that the signature is really part
of a valid table header.
Some systems have a proper signature but an invalid checksum;
followed elsewhere by a proper signature with valid checksum.

The Linux RSDP scanning code bailed out on those systems
and as a result they booted with ACPI disabled.
Fix this by deleting the Linux RSDP scanning code and
plugging in the ACPICA RSDP scanning code.
