ACPI: Remove ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_INITRD option

This essentially reverts commit 71fc47a9
("ACPI: basic initramfs DSDT override support"), because the code simply
isn't ready.

It did ugly things to the init sequence to populate the rootfs image
early, but that just ended up showing other problems with the whole
approach.  The fact is, the VFS layer simply isn't initialized this
early, and the relevant ACPI code should either run much later, or this
shouldn't be done at all.

For 2.6.25, we'll just pick the latter option.  We can revisit this
concept later if necessary.

Linux supports two methods of overriding the BIOS DSDT:
Linux supports a method of overriding the BIOS DSDT:
CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT builds the image into the kernel.
CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_INITRD adds the image to the initrd.
When to use these methods is described in detail on the
When to use this method is described in detail on the
Linux/ACPI home page:
http://www.lesswatts.org/projects/acpi/overridingDSDT.php
Note that if both options are used, the DSDT supplied
by the INITRD method takes precedence.
Documentation/initramfs-add-dsdt.sh is provided for convenience
for use with the CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_INITRD method.
