Yes, that's exactly it.  Ours is an ACPI system, and so we have to have 
our own defconfig for now.  We're holding off on pushing our own 
defconfig changes (enabling drivers, etc) until ACPI is enabled in 
arch/arm64/configs/defconfig.

My understanding is that ACPI won't be enabled by default until at least 
after the GIC driver is fully ACPI-enabled.
