You mean you haven't found a need for it in your recent use cases. I don't 
think this can be used to generalize for all boards, and is most certainly a 
naive proposal for ARM boards. So you end up depending this shit on ARCH_x86, 
then ARM adds ACPI, then it again makes sense to HAVE_ACPI_TABLES, but only 
for ARM, so now we make it depend on ARCH_ARM, and we get a clusterfuck by the 
end of the day.
At the end of it all, you are proposing to take away a freedom that has hurt 
no-one. -2. I can't see the justification.

Flashing coreboot is a minefield of these questions: "Do you want to brick your 
system? (ok/cancel)". You can't make it fool proof, and nanny-state-ing users 
is not the solution. Provide sane defaults.

P.S. If you don't know what you're doing, you will brick your board, no matter 
how many coreboot condoms you wear.
