It's in a x86 specific header, so that's enough I think? (note the
path of the header)

Hm, is it worth making the acpi_id field in struct pcpu or helper
conditional to CONFIG_ACPI? It's just data fetched from Xen so it
doesn't depend on any of the ACPI functionality in Linux.

IMO I don't think it's worth the extra ifdefs.

I did wonder the same, but convinced myself that the parameter name
being `acpi_id` was enough of a hint that the function takes an ACPI
ID.

Thanks, Roger.
