Change definition of acpi_thread_id to always be a u64. This
simplifies the code, especially any printf output. u64 is
the only common data type for all thread_id types across all
operating systems. We now force the OSL to cast the native
thread_id type to u64 before returning the value to ACPICA
(via acpi_os_get_thread_id).

<title>ACPICA/ACPI: Add new host interfaces for _OSI support</title>

<content type='text'>
Adds install/remove interfaces so that the host can dynamically
alter the global _OSI table. Also adds support for _OSI handlers.
Additional support: new debugger command (osi), and test support in
the acpiexec utility. Adds new file, utilities/utosi.c.
ACPICA bugzilla 836.

The Linux OSL _OSI code is also changed.
acpi_osi_setup can't call acpi_install/remove_interface because ACPICA
is not initialized yet at this early time.
So we just save the osi string in acpi_osi_setup and will handle it
later in a new function acpi_osi_setup_late.

<title>ACPICA: Drop acpi_set_gpe</title>

<content type='text'>
The acpi_set_gpe() function is a little awkward, because it doesn't
really work as advertised in the "disable" case.  Namely, if a GPE
has been enabled with acpi_enable_gpe() and triggered a notification
to occur, and if acpi_set_gpe() is used to disable it before
acpi_ev_asynch_enable_gpe() runs, the GPE will be immediately enabled
by the latter as though the acpi_set_gpe() had no effect.

Thus, since it's been possible to make all of its callers use
alternative operations to disable or enable GPEs, acpi_set_gpe() can
be dropped.

<title>ACPICA: Introduce acpi_gpe_wakeup()</title>

ACPICA uses reference counters to avoid disabling GPEs too early in
case they have been enabled for many times.  This is done separately
for runtime and for wakeup, but the wakeup GPE reference counter is
not really necessary, because GPEs are only enabled to wake up the
system at the hardware level by acpi_enter_sleep_state().  Thus it
only is necessary to set the corresponding bits in the wakeup enable
masks of these GPEs' registers right before the system enters a sleep
state.  Moreover, the GPE wakeup enable bits can only be set when the
target sleep state of the system is known and they need to be cleared
immediately after wakeup regardless of how many wakeup devices are
associated with a given GPE.

On the basis of the above observations, introduce function
acpi_gpe_wakeup() to be used for setting or clearing the enable bit
corresponding to a given GPE in its enable register's enable_for_wake
mask.  Modify the ACPI suspend and wakeup code the use
acpi_gpe_wakeup() instead of acpi_{enable|disable}_gpe() to set
and clear GPE enable bits in their registers' enable_for_wake masks
during system transitions to a sleep state and back to the working
state, respectively.  [This will allow us to drop the third
argument of acpi_{enable|disable}_gpe() and simplify the GPE
handling code.]

ACPICA uses acpi_hw_write_gpe_enable_reg() to re-enable a GPE after
an event signaled by it has been handled.  However, this function
writes the entire GPE enable mask to the GPE's enable register which
may not be correct.  Namely, if one of the other GPEs in the same
register was previously enabled by acpi_enable_gpe() and subsequently
disabled using acpi_set_gpe(), acpi_hw_write_gpe_enable_reg() will
re-enable it along with the target GPE.

To fix this issue rework acpi_hw_write_gpe_enable_reg() so that it
calls acpi_hw_low_set_gpe() with a special action value,
ACPI_GPE_COND_ENABLE, that will make it only enable the GPE if the
corresponding bit in its register's enable_for_run mask is set.

ACPICA uses acpi_ev_enable_gpe() for enabling GPEs at the low level,
which is incorrect, because this function only enables the GPE if the
corresponding bit in its enable register's enable_for_run mask is set.
This causes acpi_set_gpe() to work incorrectly if used for enabling
GPEs that were not previously enabled with acpi_enable_gpe().  As a
result, among other things, wakeup-only GPEs are never enabled by
acpi_enable_wakeup_device(), so the devices that use them are unable
to wake up the system.

To fix this issue remove acpi_ev_enable_gpe() and its counterpart
acpi_ev_disable_gpe() and replace acpi_hw_low_disable_gpe() with
acpi_hw_low_set_gpe() that will be used instead to manipulate GPE
enable bits at the low level.  Make the users of acpi_ev_enable_gpe()
and acpi_ev_disable_gpe() call acpi_hw_low_set_gpe() instead and
make sure that GPE enable masks are only updated by acpi_enable_gpe()
and acpi_disable_gpe() when GPE reference counters change from 0
to 1 and from 1 to 0, respectively.
