In order to support selecting earlycon via either ACPI or DT, move
the decision on whether to attempt ACPI configuration into the
early_param handling. Then make acpi_boot_table_init() bail out if
acpi_disabled.

I think we should strcmp for "on" here and return an error on other 
values. IMHO an update to Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt would be 
convenient.

I still wonder if we really want to change the default to ACPI disabled.
But that's a decision the maintainers have to take.
