	Mark function acpi_sfi_table_parse() as __init to avoid warning messages: WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x4cd2d2): Section mismatch in reference from the function acpi_sfi_table_parse.clone.0() to the function Function acpi_sfi_table_parse() calls acpi_table_parse() and pci_parse_mcfg(), which are both marked as __init. Currently acpi_sfi_table_parse() is only used by MMCONFIG to scan MCFG table at boot time only, so it's safe to mark acpi_sfi_table_parse() as __init.

2009-08-28	SFI: add capability to parse ACPI tables	Feng Tang	1	-0/+93
	Extend SFI to access standard ACPI tables. (eg. the PCI MCFG) using sfi_acpi_table_parse(). Note that this is _not_ a hybrid ACPI + SFI mode. The platform boots in either ACPI mode or SFI mode. SFI runs only with acpi_disabled=1, which can be set at build-time via CONFIG_ACPI=n, or at boot time by the failure to find ACPI platform support. So this extension simply allows SFI-platforms to re-use existing standard table formats that happen to be defined to live in ACPI envelopes.
