This function maps an input GPE index to a GPE block device. Also
Added acpi_current_gpe_count to track the current number of GPEs
that are being managed by the ACPICA core (both FADT-based GPEs
and the GPEs contained in GPE block devices.)

Modify drivers/acpi/system.c to use these 2 new interfaces

<title>ACPICA: Use spinlock for acpi_{en|dis}able_gpe</title>

Disabling gpe might interfere with gpe detection/handling,
thus producing "interrupt not handled" errors.
Ironically, disabling of GPE from interrupt context is already
under spinlock, so only userspace needs to start using it.

Since commit bc45b1d39a925b56796bebf8a397a0491489d85c acpi tables are
allowed to have an empty signature and /sys/firmware/acpi/tables uses the
signature as filename.  Applications using naive recursion through /sys
loop forever.  A possible solution would be: (replacing the zero length
filename with the string "NULL")

<title>ACPI: bugfix reporting of event handler status</title>

Introduce a new flag showing whether the event has an event handler/method.

For all the GPEs and Fixed Events,
 1. ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_HANDLE is cleared, it's an "invalid" ACPI event.
 2. Both ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_HANDLE and ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_DISABLE are set,
    it's "disabled".
 3. Both ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_HANDLE and ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_ENABLE are set,
    it's "enabled".
 4. Both ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_HANDLE and ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_WAKE_ENABLE are set,
    it's "wake_enabled".

Among other things, this prevents incorrect reporting of ACPI events
as being "invalid" when it's really just (temporarily) "disabled".

So replace ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT((ACPI_DB_ERROR, ...) with printk(KERN_ERR PREFIX ...)

<title>x86: sysfs: kill owner field from attribute</title>

<content type='text'>
Tejun's commit 7b595756ec1f49e0049a9e01a1298d53a7faaa15 made sysfs
attribute-&gt;owner unnecessary.  But the field was left in the structure to
ease the merge.  It's been over a year since that change and it is now
time to start killing attribute-&gt;owner along with its users - one arch at
a time!

This patch is attempt #1 to get rid of attribute-&gt;owner only for
CONFIG_X86_64 or CONFIG_X86_32 .  We will deal with other arches later on
as and when possible - avr32 will be the next since that is something I
can test.  Compile (make allyesconfig / make allmodconfig / custom config)
and boot tested.

akpm: the idea is that we put the declaration of sttribute.owner inside
`#ifndef CONFIG_X86'.  But that proved to be too ambitious for now because
new usages kept on turning up in subsystem trees.

[akpm: remove the ifdef for now]

driver was always a danger signal.  This patch moves
memory_read_from_buffer() from fs.h to string.h and fixes includes in
existing memory_read_from_buffer() users.
