According to include/linux/acpi.h these functions are platform
dependent. There are ia64 versions, but I don't see them for non-ia64
arches.

This is the problem. I don't know anything about Summit, so maybe
someone else can better help you. Perhaps there is an extra summit
patch somewhere? Or maybe you must turn off ACPI for this machine,
although that seems unlikely.
