acpid: drop x86 architecture dependency
PATCH 1/1 acpid: drop x86 architecture dependency
Closes #11241
While ACPI is historically exclusively a x86 feature, ia64 and (some) arm64 server platforms also use it. Furthermore, even if the firmware does not provide an ACPI interface and/or the kernel is not built with ACPI support, acpid can still be used to command an orderly shutdown of the system as it also listens for KEY_POWER / KEY_SUSPEND events from the input subsystem (and calls shutdown by default).

Applied to next, thanks. Even though it's fixing what was reported as a bug, I don't think this qualifies as a bug, so I've applied to next and not to master.
