    when installing the following table during early stage:
     ACPI: SSDT 0x00000000B9638018 07A0C4 (v02 INTEL  S2600CP  00004000 INTL 20100331)
    The regression is caused by the size limitation of the x86 early IO mapping.
    
    The root cause is:
     1. ACPICA doesn't split IO memory mapping and table mapping;
     2. Linux x86 OSL implements acpi_os_map_memory() using a size limited fix-map
        mechanism during early boot stage, which is more suitable for only IO
        mappings.
    
    This patch fixes this issue by utilizing acpi_gbl_verify_table_checksum to
    disable the table mapping during early stage and enabling it again for the
    late stage. In this way, the normal code path is not affected. Then after
    the code related to the root cause is cleaned up, the early checksum
    verification can be easily re-enabled.
    
    A new boot parameter - acpi_force_table_verification is introduced for
    the platforms that require the checksum verification to stop loading bad
    tables.
    
    This fix also covers the checksum verification for the table overrides. Now
    large tables can also be overridden using the initrd override mechanism.
