[PATCH 23/27] ACPICA: Tables: Remove old mechanism to validate if XSDT contains NULL entries.

2014-04-29 Thread Lv Zheng
With the NULL entry sanity check implemented, the XSDT validation is useless because: 1. If XSDT contains NULL entries, it can be bypassed by the new sanity check mechanism; 2. If RSDP contains a bad XSDT address, invoking XSDT validation will still lead to a kernel crash. This patch
