Making this specific to ACPI runs the risk of people introducing a
multitude of new logging functions for every subsystem, e.g.
efi_{warn,info,dbg}.
FWIW, I'd be interested in using something like this patch series to
properly log EFI implementation bugs. The logging for EFI is currently
done fairly haphazardly.
