During ia64 kernel initialization, the physical address of the ACPI tables is passed via the EFI Configuration Table. In efi_init() the address is stored as a virtual address in the kernel's efi structure. Later when ACPI is initialized, these are converted back to physical addresses in acpi_find_rsdp() and acpi_os_get_root_pointer().
This patch (against 2.5.75) removes the macro to store the address as virtual and removes the macros doing the reverse conversion back to physical. As I'm currently working on a patch to add support for booting and initializing IA-32 kernels from EFI, this simplifies the changes to drivers/acpi/osl.c to also get the physical address. Fwiw, I was able to boot a slightly older 2.5.69 kernel on an Itanium II system w/o issue with this patch...
thanks,
matt
