(Oops, ignore previous spurious reply).

Please revert this.  The MADT parser on amd64 is slightly different from i386
and will not work when acpi is loaded as a module.  If anything, I would
prefer we make acpi not be a module on i386.  There are several things that
would be far less invasive to implement via #ifdef DEV_ACPI than by defining
runtime kobj interfaces to the ACPI driver.
