That would be helpful. For the One Laptop Per Child project (or whatever
it's called today), it would be advantageous to run without acpi.

Out of curiosity, what is the motivation for running without acpi?
It costs a lot to diverge from the mainstream in areas like that,
so there must be a big payoff. But maybe if OLPC depends on acpi
being smarter about power or code size or whatever, those improvements
could be made and everybody would benefit.
