Let's see: the following patches add something called
GET_SUPPORTED_FEATURES which is used to detect whether the system has
patrol scrub functionality etc.

Then there's ras2_acpi_init() which checks for a RAS2 ACPI table.

Are you saying that checking for those two things in the init function
is jumping through hoops?
