Why none of the EFI maintainers were CC'ed into that?

This function doesn't install anything.  efi_acpi_register()
nstalls the config tables for ACPI. This is just preparing and setting up
correctly table_start_high/table_end_high AFAICT

The alignment is already taken care of in efi_acpi_register(). Also an

Why is this an event and how do you make sure it runs before
efi_acpi_register()?. This should just run explicitly before that to prepare
the ACPI tables and if it fails we shouldn't even try to install the config
table
