Ok, why is that CONFIG_KEXEC dependency needed now too?

Ok, let's recap: so far, for your use case you need:

CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE
CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE
and now
CONFIG_KEXEC

So, you can clean up all that ifdeffery by defining a new config item
CONFIG_EARLY_PARSE_RSDP or so which depends on all those three items and
then you can do

vmlinux-objs-$(CONFIG_EARLY_PARSE_RSDP) += $(obj)/acpitb.o

and get rid of the most of the ifdeffery.

Yes?

That check is not needed since you do > 0 below.

This needs a comment to explain what is that guard used for.
