What if one day we have ARM vendors showing up with x86-like fake registers just to be fully fixed hw profile compliant and feeling they could be safer than with the resuced hw profile, for whichever reason?

I would suggest we have two flags, which would be both set in 99.9% of ARM platforms but maybe there could be a 0.1% where it is ARM and fixed profile one day?

Modify the kernel configuration so that if ARM is selected, then
ACPI_REDUCED_HARDWARE is also selected.
