    ACPI: delete the "acpi=ht" boot option · 68ca4069

    acpi=ht was important in 2003 -- before ACPI was
    universally deployed and enabled by default in
    the major Linux distributions.
    
    At that time, there were a fair number of people who
    or chose to, or needed to, run with acpi=off,
    yet also wanted access to Hyper-threading.
    
    Today we find that many invocations of "acpi=ht"
    are accidental, and thus is it possible that it
    is doing more harm than good.
    
    In 2.6.34, we warn on invocation of acpi=ht.
    In 2.6.35, we delete the boot option.
