Since Parking protocol for bringing up secondary CPUs will be upstreamed,
it is ok to me to print no message for not supporting PSCI.

Thanks, I have some minor comments below.

Since we disable ACPI in default, it is a bit strange for me to init all
the ACPI tables and parse FADT when ACPI is disabled, could you
put some comments here to clarify the purpose? other than that, it is looks
good to me.
