Allow all non-unique call stacks, as judged by pushed sequence of EIPs,

Upon keying in

a few dozen stacks are printk'ed, then system responsiveness

Set /debug/fail*/* defaults supposed most likely to please a new user.
Clamp /debug/fail*/stacktrace-depth to MAX_STACK_TRACE_DEPTH.
In should_fail(), move stack-unwinding test past cheaper tests (performance

Use bool/true/false consistently.

Please check the updated patch.
[PATCH 3/3] x86: when acpi_noirq is set, use mptable instead of MADT
If no DSDT found, call acpi_disable_pci
When using pci=noacpi, or apci=noirq, acpi_noirq is set. We should skip
acpi_process_madt. So to avoid enumerate lapic two times.

This is a clean up patch that includes the following changes:
-It removes some macro definitions that are only used once
with the actual code.
-Some comments were added to clarify the code based on feedback
from the community.

Thanks in advance for any comments provided.
