It was copied from efi_smbios.c.
Please fix that file as well if you think it has the wrong name.

When the caller does not align the memory it could happen that
efi_acpi_register() changes the
page attribute of an existing mapping, which might break on the OS side.

Please fix efi_acpi_register() to not assume anything and do not
silently modify mem-ranges.
An assert should be used instead to enforce proper alignment on page boundary.

It's reusing the same mechanism as existing code to make sure it runs before
efi_acpi_register(). Existing code uses
EVENT_SPY_SIMPLE(EVT_LAST_STAGE_INIT,...); to make sure it runs before
the tables are registered.
