This feels like a tool to paper over problems rather than solve them.

If vendors are shipping horrendously broken tables today, clearly no
software has ever really supported them. So why add workarounds?

Why is this necessary? Is there a particular case for this, or is this
just for parity with x86?

IMO it would be better to put pressure on vendors to fix their FW and
provide sensible OS-agnostic update mechanisms.

Do we actually need full paging up here?

Why can we not use fixmap based copying as we do for the other cases
prior to paging_init?

Perhaps ARCH_HAS_ACPI_TABLE_UPGRADE?

s/defiend/defined/

This should be defined in an arch-specific header if it is actually
arch-specific.

Thanks,
Mark.
