Introduce function acpi_match_device() allowing callers to match
struct device objects with populated acpi_handle fields against
arrays of ACPI device IDs. Also introduce function
acpi_driver_match_device() using acpi_match_device() internally and
allowing callers to match a struct device object against an array of
ACPI device IDs provided by a device driver.
Additionally, introduce macro ACPI_PTR() that may be used by device
drivers to escape pointers to data structures whose definitions
depend on CONFIG_ACPI.

With ACPI 5 we are starting to see devices that don't natively support
discovery but can be enumerated with the help of the ACPI namespace.
Typically, these devices can be represented in the Linux device driver
model as platform devices or some serial bus devices, like SPI or I2C
devices.
Since we want to re-use existing drivers for those devices, we need a
way for drivers to specify the ACPI IDs of supported devices, so that
they can be matched against device nodes in the ACPI namespace. To
this end, it is sufficient to add a pointer to an array of supported
ACPI device IDs, that can be provided by the driver, to struct device.
Moreover, things like ACPI power management need to have access to
the ACPI handle of each supported device, because that handle is used
to invoke AML methods associated with the corresponding ACPI device
node. The ACPI handles of devices are now stored in the archdata
member structure of struct device whose definition depends on the
architecture and includes the ACPI handle only on x86 and ia64. Since
the pointer to an array of supported ACPI IDs is added to struct
device_driver in an architecture-independent way, it is logical to
move the ACPI handle from archdata to struct device itself at the same
time. This also makes code more straightforward in some places and
follows the example of Device Trees that have a poiter to struct
device_node in there too.
This changeset is based on Mika Westerberg's work.

Even if acpi_processor_handle_eject() offlines cpu, there is a chance
to online the cpu after that. So the patch closes the window by using
get/put_online_cpus().
Why does the patch change _cpu_up() logic?
The patch cares the race of hot-remove cpu and _cpu_up(). If the patch
does not change it, there is the following race.
hot-remove cpu | _cpu_up()
------------------------------------- ------------------------------------
call acpi_processor_handle_eject() |
call cpu_down() |
call get_online_cpus() |
| call cpu_hotplug_begin() and stop here
call arch_unregister_cpu() |
call acpi_unmap_lsapic() |
call put_online_cpus() |
| start and continue _cpu_up()
return acpi_processor_remove() |
continue hot-remove the cpu |
So _cpu_up() can continue to itself. And hot-remove cpu can also continue
itself. If the patch changes _cpu_up() logic, the race disappears as below:
hot-remove cpu | _cpu_up()
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
call acpi_processor_handle_eject() |

Some bus types don't support power management natively, but generally
there may be device nodes in ACPI tables corresponding to the devices
whose bus types they are (under ACPI 5 those bus types may be SPI,
I2C and platform). If that is the case, standard ACPI power
management may be applied to those devices, although currently the
kernel has no means for that.
For this reason, provide a set of routines that may be used as power
management callbacks for such devices. This may be done in three
different ways.
(1) Device drivers handling the devices in question may run
acpi_dev_pm_attach() in their .probe() routines, which (on
success) will cause the devices to be added to the general ACPI
PM domain and ACPI power management will be used for them going
forward. Then, acpi_dev_pm_detach() may be used to remove the
devices from the general ACPI PM domain if ACPI power management
is not necessary for them any more.
(2) The devices' subsystems may use acpi_subsys_runtime_suspend(),
acpi_subsys_runtime_resume(), acpi_subsys_prepare(),
acpi_subsys_suspend_late(), acpi_subsys_resume_early() as their
power management callbacks in the same way as the general ACPI
PM domain does that.
(3) The devices' drivers may execute acpi_dev_suspend_late(),
acpi_dev_resume_early(), acpi_dev_runtime_suspend(),
acpi_dev_runtime_resume() from their power management callbacks
as appropriate, if that's absolutely necessary, but it is not
recommended to do that, because such drivers may not work
without ACPI support as a result.

If the caller of acpi_bus_set_power() already has a pointer to the
struct acpi_device object corresponding to the device in question, it
doesn't make sense for it to go through acpi_bus_get_device(), which
may be costly, because it involves acquiring the global ACPI
namespace mutex.
For this reason, export the function operating on struct acpi_device
objects used internally by acpi_bus_set_power(), so that it may be
called instead of acpi_bus_set_power() in the above case, and change
its name to acpi_device_set_power().
Additionally, introduce two inline wrappers for checking ACPI PM
capabilities of devices represented by struct acpi_device objects.

Two device wakeup management routines in device_pm.c and sleep.c,
acpi_pm_device_run_wake() and acpi_pm_device_sleep_wake(), take a
device pointer argument and use it to obtain the ACPI handle of the
corresponding ACPI namespace node. That handle is then used to get
the address of the struct acpi_device object corresponding to the
struct device passed as the argument.
Unfortunately, that last operation may be costly, because it involves
taking the global ACPI namespace mutex, so it shouldn't be carried
out too often. However, the callers of those routines usually call
them in a row with acpi_pm_device_sleep_state() which also takes that
mutex for the same reason, so it would be more efficient if they ran
acpi_bus_get_device() themselves to obtain a pointer to the struct
acpi_device object in question and then passed that pointer to the
appropriate PM routines.
To make that possible, split each of the PM routines mentioned above
in two parts, one taking a struct acpi_device pointer argument and
the other implementing the current interface for compatibility.
Additionally, change acpi_pm_device_run_wake() to actually return
an error code if there is an error while setting up runtime remote
wakeup for the device.

This patch reduces power consumption by allowing idle devices to go to a
low power state after another device on the same power resource has been
awakened.
A power resource may be shared by multiple devices. When all devices
sharing a power resource are put into D3_COLD state, the power resource
will be turned off. When one of the devices is awakened, the power
resource will be turned on and all devices sharing it will be powered on to
D0uninitialized state. These devices should be resumed, so that they have
the opportunity to go to low power state later.

Add support to export the device description obtained from the ACPI _STR
method, if one exists for a device, to user-space via a sysfs interface.
This new interface provides a standard and platform neutral way for users
to obtain the description text stored in the ACPI _STR method. If no
_STR method exists for the device, no sysfs 'description' file will be
created. The 'description' file will be located in the /sys/devices/
directory using the device's path.
/sys/device/<bus>/<bridge path>/<device path>.../firmware_node/description
Example:
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00.07.0/0000:0e:00.0/firmware_node/description
It can also be located using the ACPI device path, for example:
/sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/ACPI0004:00/PNP0A08:00/device:13/device:15/description
/sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/ACPI0004:00/ACPI0004:01/ACPI0007:02/description
Execute the 'cat' command on the 'description' file to obtain the
description string for that device.
This patch also includes documentation describing how the new sysfs
interface works
Changes from v1-v2 based on comments by Len Brown and Fengguang Wu
* Removed output "No Description" and leaving a NULL attribute if the
_STR method failed to evaluate.
* In acpi_device_remove_files() removed the redundent check of
dev->pnp.str_obj before calling free. This check triggered a message
