From: Zhang Yanfei <[email protected]>
The implementation of function __acpi_map_table() has been changed
long time ago, and now it directly invokes early_ioremap() to setup
the temporarily acpi table mappings. So remove its out-of-date
comment.

Good catch. Removing documentation makes me sad, so how about replacing it
with a simple comment:
/*
* This is just a simple wrapper around early_ioremap(),
* with sanity checks for phys == 0 and size == 0:
*/
?
Thanks,

Yeah, agreed. So I will send the v2 patch.
