-If the ACPI_INITRD_TABLE_OVERRIDE compile option is true, it is possible to
-override nearly any ACPI table provided by the BIOS with an instrumented,
-modified one.
+If the ACPI_TABLE_UPGRADE compile option is true, it is possible to
+upgrade the ACPI execution environment that is defined by the ACPI tables
+via upgrading the ACPI tables provided by the BIOS with an instrumented,
+modified, more recent version one, or installing brand new ACPI tables.
 
-For a full list of ACPI tables that can be overridden, take a look at
-the char *table_sigs[MAX_ACPI_SIGNATURE]; definition in drivers/acpi/osl.c

 2) What is this for

-Please keep in mind that this is a debug option.
-ACPI tables should not get overridden for productive use.
-If BIOS ACPI tables are overridden the kernel will get tainted with the
-TAINT_OVERRIDDEN_ACPI_TABLE flag.
-Complain to your platform/BIOS vendor if you find a bug which is so sever
-that a workaround is not accepted in the Linux kernel.
+Complain to your platform/BIOS vendor if you find a bug which is so severe

-Still, it can and should be enabled in any kernel, because:
-  - There is no functional change with not instrumented initrds
-  - It provides a powerful feature to easily debug and test ACPI BIOS table
