ACPI: fix section mis-match build warning

Dunno why this pops out in only in the allmodconfig build. Though the warning is accurate, all the callers of the flagged non __init function are __init, this is not a functional change.

WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data:acpi_sci_flags from .text between 'acpi_sci_ioapic_setup' (at offset 0xc010f0a

ACPI: increase ACPI_MAX_REFERENCE_COUNT for larger systems

We have some new larger ia64 systems in HP that trip over the ACPI_MAX_REFERENCE_COUNT limit which triggers a large number of these debug messages:

ACPI Warning (utdelete-0397): Large Reference Count (XXX) in object e0000a0ff6797ab0 [20060707]

This was increased once in the past as described in this very brief thread:

ACPI: EC: move verbose printk to debug build only

The recent EC cleanup left a printk enabled on handler evaluation resulting in a bunch of messages on normal operation, like so:

backlight: fix backlight_device_register compile failures
