you don't need to that.

please call early_acpi_boot_init instead

sth like

diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/setup.c b/arch/x86/kernel/setup.c
index 3d677b5..7ead2aa 100644

@@ -997,6 +997,8 @@ void __init setup_arch(char **cmdline_p)
         */
        acpi_boot_table_init();

+       early_acpi_boot_init();
+
 #ifdef CONFIG_ACPI_NUMA
        /*
