What about:

"The ACPI code requires to use global variables in order to collect 
information from the tables.

To make clear those variables are ACPI specific, gather all of them in a 
single structure.

Furthermore, even if some of the variables are not marked with 
__initdata, they are all only used during the initialization. Therefore, 
the new variable, which hold the structure, can be marked __initdata."

Cheers,
