ACPI / processor: Avoid reserving IO regions too early
Roland Dreier reports that one of his systems cannot boot because of the changes made by commit ac212b6980d8 (ACPI / processor: Use common hotplug infrastructure). The problematic part of it is the request_region() call in acpi_processor_get_info() that used to run at module init time before the above commit and now it runs much earlier. Unfortunately, the region(s) reserved by it fall into a range the PCI subsystem attempts to reserve for AHCI IO BARs. As a result, the PCI reservation fails and AHCI doesn't work, while previously the PCI reservation would be made before acpi_processor_get_info() and it would succeed. That request_region() call, however, was overlooked by commit ac212b6980d8, as it is not necessary for the enumeration of the processors. It only is needed when the ACPI processor driver actually attempts to handle them which doesn't happen before loading the ACPI processor driver module. Therefore that call should have been moved from acpi_processor_get_info() into that module. Address the problem by moving the request_region() call in question out of acpi_processor_get_info() and use the observation that the region reserved by it is only needed if the FADT-based CPU throttling method is going to be used, which means that it should be sufficient to invoke it from acpi_processor_get_throttling_fadt().
