A suggestion: could you add more details to the description above? I couldn't figure how to use it without reading __acpi_probe_device_table(). Something like "if @id matches the one defined in __acpi_probe_device_table(), then probe_subtbl() will be invoked; otherwise probe_table() will be invoked" would be helpful for programmers use this struct.

Could we avoid using union for probe_table & probe_subtbl? The benefit is that we don't need to do function casting below and compiler can automatically check the correctness.

Something like: 

#define ACPI_DECLARE_PROBE_ENTRY(table, name, table_id, subtable, valid, data, fn, subfn)	\
	static const struct acpi_probe_entry __acpi_probe_##name	\
		__used __section(__##table##_acpi_probe_table)		\
		 = {							\
			.id = table_id,					\
			.type = subtable,				\
			.subtable_valid = valid,			\
			.probe_table = fn,				\
			.probe_subtbl = subfn,				\
			.driver_data = data, 				\
		   }

Then in patch 3, you can define new entries as:

IRQCHIP_ACPI_DECLARE(gic_v2, ACPI_MADT_TYPE_GENERIC_DISTRIBUTOR,
		     gic_validate_dist, ACPI_MADT_GIC_VERSION_V2,
		     NULL, gic_v2_acpi_init);
IRQCHIP_ACPI_DECLARE(gic_v2_maybe, ACPI_MADT_TYPE_GENERIC_DISTRIBUTOR,
		     gic_validate_dist, ACPI_MADT_GIC_VERSION_NONE,
		     NULL, gic_v2_acpi_init);
