63a29f744f Documentation: remove __dev* attributes.
CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option.  As a result, the __dev*
markings need to be removed.

This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
__devinitconst, and __devexit from the kernel documentation.

Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

18dd0bf22b Merge branch 'x86-acpi-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 ACPI update from Peter Anvin:
 "This is a patchset which didn't make the last merge window.  It adds a
  debugging capability to feed ACPI tables via the initramfs.

  On a grander scope, it formalizes using the initramfs protocol for
  feeding arbitrary blobs which need to be accessed early to the kernel:
  they are fed first in the initramfs blob (lots of bootloaders can
  concatenate this at boot time, others can use a single file) in an
  uncompressed cpio archive using filenames starting with "kernel/".

  The ACPI maintainers requested that this patchset be fed via the x86
  tree rather than the ACPI tree as the footprint in the general x86
  code is much bigger than in the ACPI code proper."

59c3987805 ACPI: add documentation about ACPI 5 enumeration
Add a document that describes how to take advantage of ACPI enumeration for
buses like platform, I2C and SPI. In addition to that we document how to
translate ACPI GpioIo and GpioInt resources to be useful in Linux device
drivers.

6ef19ab7fa Update documentation for parameter *notrigger* in einj.txt
Add description of parameter notrigger in the einj.txt.
One can utilize this new parameter to do some SRAR injection
test. Pay attention, the operation is highly depended on the
BIOS implementation. If no proper BIOS supports it, even if
enabling this parameter, expected result will not happen.

c130bd6f82 acpi/apei/einj: Add extensions to EINJ from rev 5.0 of acpi spec
ACPI 5.0 provides extensions to the EINJ mechanism to specify the
target for the error injection - by APICID for cpu related errors,
by address for memory related errors, and by segment/bus/device/function
for PCIe related errors. Also extensions for vendor specific error
injections.

c3e6088e10 ACPI, APEI, EINJ Param support is disabled by default
EINJ parameter support is only usable for some specific BIOS.
Originally, it is expected to have no harm for BIOS does not support
it.  But now, we found it will cause issue (memory overwriting) for
some BIOS.  So param support is disabled by default and only enabled
when newly added module parameter named "param_extension" is
explicitly specified.

c413d76820 ACPI, APEI, Add PCIe AER error information printing support
The AER error information printing support is implemented in
drivers/pci/pcie/aer/aer_print.c.  So some string constants, functions
and macros definitions can be re-used without being exported.

The original PCIe AER error information printing function is not
re-used directly because the overall format is quite different.  And
changing the original printing format may make some original users'
scripts broken.

f59c55d04b ACPI, APEI, Add APEI generic error status printing support
In APEI, Hardware error information reported by firmware to Linux
kernel is in the data structure of APEI generic error status (struct
acpi_hes_generic_status).  While now printk is used by Linux kernel to
report hardware error information to user space.

So, this patch adds printing support for the data structure, so that
the corresponding hardware error information can be reported to user
space via printk.

PCIe AER information printing is not implemented yet.  Will refactor the
original PCIe AER information printing code to avoid code duplicating.

The output format is as follow:

Introduce module parameter acpi.aml_debug_output.

With acpi.aml_debug_output set, we can get AML debug object output
(Store (AAA, Debug)), even with CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG cleared.

Together with the runtime custom method mechanism,
we can debug AML code problems without rebuilding the kernel.

extension. This patch adds support to it. The parameters will be
ignored on machines without necessary BIOS support.

a1a541d86f ACPI: support customizing ACPI control methods at runtime
Introduce a new debugfs I/F (/sys/kernel/debug/acpi/custom_method) for ACPI,
which can be used to customize the ACPI control methods at runtime.

We can use this to debug the AML code level bugs instead of overriding the
whole DSDT table, without rebuilding/rebooting kernel any more.

Detailed description about how to use this debugfs I/F is stated in

9a9e0d6855 ACPI: Remove ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_INITRD option
This essentially reverts commit 71fc47a9ad
("ACPI: basic initramfs DSDT override support"), because the code simply
isn't ready.

It did ugly things to the init sequence to populate the rootfs image
early, but that just ended up showing other problems with the whole
approach.  The fact is, the VFS layer simply isn't initialized this
early, and the relevant ACPI code should either run much later, or this
shouldn't be done at all.

For 2.6.25, we'll just pick the latter option.  We can revisit this
concept later if necessary.

71fc47a9ad ACPI: basic initramfs DSDT override support
The basics of DSDT from initramfs. In case this option is selected,
populate_rootfs() is called a bit earlier to have the initramfs content
available during ACPI initialization.

This is a very similar path to the one available at
http://gaugusch.at/kernel.shtml but with some update in the
documentation, default set to No and the change of populate_rootfs() the
"Jeff Mahony way" (which avoids reading the initramfs twice).
