Thanks for the pointer [1] to the issues around
acpi_penalize_sci_irq() being called before kmalloc() is available.
That begs the question of exactly *why* we need
acpi_penalize_sci_irq() so early -- I doubt we actually need to handle
SCIs that early, and obviously we don't need to look up penalties that
early (because we only look them up when enabling interrupt links,
which happens much later).

Wait a minute, I still have a question here: what about other ACPI
arches (ia64, arm64)?  Don't they need to call acpi_penalize_sci_irq()
somewhere?
