Yeah, avoiding #ifdefs with stubs is good if we need to call the function
from non-ACPI code. I'm wondering why we'd need to, though. In all the
cases introduced with this series, we could pass a 'cpu' to
acpi_get_riscv_isa() and then have acpi_get_riscv_isa() call
get_acpi_id_for_cpu() itself, for example.

We also need to be sure -1 truly means "no ACPI ID" in order to stub this.
