Instead of adding a big blacklist in video_detect.c to set
ACPI_VIDEO_BACKLIGHT_DMI_VENDOR correctly, let external modules
promote or demote themselves when they know the generic video
module won't work.

Currently drivers where using acpi_video_unregister() directly
but:
- That didn't respect any acpi_backlight=[video|vendor] parameter
  provided by the user.
- Any later call to acpi_video_register() would still re-load the
  generic video module (and some gpu drivers are doing that).

This patch fix those two issues.

<title>ACPI: Add an interface to evaluate _OST</title>
<updated>2012-06-04T05:09:14+00:00</updated>

<id>275c58d77062bbb85dbeb3843ba04f34aa50cf8e</id>
<content type='text'>
Added acpi_evaluate_hotplug_opt(). All ACPI hotplug handlers must call
this function when evaluating _OST for hotplug operations. If the
platform does not support _OST, this function returns AE_NOT_FOUND and
has no effect on the platform.

ACPI_HOTPLUG_OST is defined when all relevant ACPI hotplug operations,
such as CPU, memory and container hotplug, are enabled. This assures
consistent behavior among the hotplug operations with regarding the
_OST support. When ACPI_HOTPLUG_OST is not defined, this function is
a no-op.

ACPI PCI hotplug is not enhanced to support _OST at this time since it
is a legacy method being replaced by PCIe native hotplug. _OST support
for ACPI PCI hotplug may be added in future if necessary.

Some platforms may require the OS to support _OST in order to support
ACPI hotplug operations. For example, if a platform has the management
console where user can request a hotplug operation from, this _OST
support would be required for the management console to show the result
of the hotplug request to user.

Added macro definitions of _OST source events and status codes.
Also renamed OSC_SB_CPUHP_OST_SUPPORT to OSC_SB_HOTPLUG_OST_SUPPORT
since this _OSC bit is not specific to CPU hotplug. This bit is
defined in Table 6-147 of ACPI 5.0 as follows.

  Bits:       3
  Field Name: Insertion / Ejection _OST Processing Support
  Definition: This bit is set if OSPM will evaluate the _OST
              object defined under a device when processing
              insertion and ejection source event codes.

Pull ACPI &amp; Power Management changes from Len Brown:
 - ACPI 5.0 after-ripples, ACPICA/Linux divergence cleanup
 - cpuidle evolving, more ARM use
 - thermal sub-system evolving, ditto

Fix up conflicts in various cpuidle implementations due to ARM cpuidle
cleanups (ARM at91 self-refresh and cpu idle code rewritten into
"standby" in asm conflicting with the consolidation of cpuidle time
keeping), trivial SH include file context conflict and RCU tracing fixes
in generic code.

  ACPI video: Harden video bus adding.
  ACPI: Add support for exposing BGRT data
  ACPI: export acpi_kobj
  ACPI: Fix logic for removing mappings in 'acpi_unmap'
  CPER failed to handle generic error records with multiple sections

toshiba_acpi needs to execute an AML method within the EC namespace
to make hotkeys work on some platforms. Provide an interface to
allow it to easily get a handle to the EC namespace for this purpose.

The ACPI suspend path makes a call to tboot_sleep right before
it writes the PM1A, PM1B values. We replace the direct call to
tboot via an registration callback similar to __acpi_register_gsi.

Some firmware will access memory in ACPI NVS region via APEI.  That
is, instructions in APEI ERST/EINJ table will read/write ACPI NVS
region.  The original resource conflict checking in APEI code will
check memory/ioport accessed by APEI via general resource management
mechanism.  But ACPI NVS region is marked as busy already, so that the
false resource conflict will prevent APEI ERST/EINJ to work.

To fix this, this patch record ACPI NVS regions, so that we can avoid
request resources for memory region inside it.
