I haven't found any possible modular usage of
acpi_strict.
I'd prefer to continue to export this flag if that isn't a burden.
The reason is that it is the only way we have to globally tell the ACPI interpreter and all its (usually modularized) policy drivers to allow or dis-allow support for platforms that openly violate the ACPI spec. (By default the flag is clear and is set explicity with "acpi_strict")
While the ACPI modules in the tree at the moment don't use this flag, there are other out-of-tree
modules on the way, and they may need it.
