There is no reason to type this variable signed int. Please use unsigned 
int.

Even better, paddr_t as you use like that after.

The variable name is misleading, acpi_len doesn't correspond to the real 
size of the ACPI but only whole size of the table generated by Xen.

Furthermore, based the usage I was able to find within the other patch, 
this variable is only used during dom0 creation and should live in kinfo.
