Add infrastructure to track "maximum allowable latency" for power saving
policies.
The reason for adding this infrastructure is that power management in the
idle loop needs to make a tradeoff between latency and power savings
(deeper power save modes have a longer latency to running code again). The
code that today makes this tradeoff just does a rather simple algorithm;
however this is not good enough: There are devices and use cases where a
lower latency is required than that the higher power saving states provide.
An example would be audio playback, but another example is the ipw2100
wireless driver that right now has a very direct and ugly acpi hook to
disable some higher power states randomly when it gets certain types of
error.
The proposed solution is to have an interface where drivers can
* announce the maximum latency (in microseconds) that they can deal with
* modify this latency
* give up their constraint
and a function where the code that decides on power saving strategy can
query the current global desired maximum.
This patch has a user of each side: on the consumer side, ACPI is patched
to use this, on the producer side the ipw2100 driver is patched.
A generic maximum latency is also registered of 2 timer ticks (more and you
lose accurate time tracking after all).
While the existing users of the patch are x86 specific, the infrastructure
is not. I'd like to ask the arch maintainers of other architectures if the
infrastructure is generic enough for their use (assuming the architecture
has such a tradeoff as concept at all), and the sound/multimedia driver
owners to look at the driver facing API to see if this is something they
can use.

In cases where the acpi memory-add event does not containe the pxm (node)
infomation allow the driver to look up node info based on the address. The
acpi_get_node call returns -1 if it can't decode the pxm info, this causes
add_memory to panic. acpi_get_node would have to decode the resource from the
handle (a lenghty proposition). This seems to be the cleanist point to
interject the hook.

While going through the code, I found out some memory leaks and potential
crashes in drivers/acpi/hotkey.c Please find the patch to fix them.
This patch does the following,
1. Fixes memory leaks in error paths of hotkey_write_config
2. Fixes freeing unallocated pointers in the error paths of hotkey_write_config
3. Uses a loop instead of linear searching for parsing the userspace
input in get_params
4. Uses array of char * instead of passing 4 pointer parameters
explicitly into the init_{poll_}hotkey_* static functions

This is to remove noisy useless message at boot. The message is a ton of
"ACPI Exception (acpi_memory-0492): AE_ERROR, handle is no memory device"
In my emulation, number of memory devices are not so many (only 6), but,
this messages are displayed 114 times.
It is showed by acpi_memory_register_notify_handler() which is called by
acpi_walk_namespace().
acpi_walk_namespace() parses all of ACPI's namespace and execute
acpi_memory_register_notify_handler(). So, it is called for all of the
device which is defined in namespace. If the parsing device is not memory,
acpi_memhotplug ignores it due to "no match" and will parse next device.
This is normal route, not an exception.

The acpi driver suspend/resume patches that went in recently caused a regression
on my box (toshiba tecra 8000 laptop): after resume from swsusp the fan turns on
keeping blowing cold air out of my notebook. before the patches, the fan was off

Linux mutexes and the debug code that that reference
acpi_os_get_thread_id() are happy with 0.
But the AML mutexes in exmutex.c expect a unique non-zero
number for each thread - as they track this thread_id
to permit the mutex re-entrancy defined by the ACPI spec.

Added the ACPI_PACKED_POINTERS_NOT_SUPPORTED macro to
support C compilers that do not allow the initialization
of address pointers within packed structures - even though
the hardware itself may support misaligned transfers. Some
of the debug data structures are packed by default to
minimize size.
Added an error message for the case where
acpi_os_get_thread_id() returns zero. A non-zero value is
required by the core ACPICA code to ensure the proper
operation of AML mutexes and recursive control methods.
The DSDT is now the only ACPI table that determines whether
the AML interpreter is in 32-bit or 64-bit mode. Not really
a functional change, but the hooks for per-table 32/64
switching have been removed from the code. A clarification
to the ACPI specification is forthcoming in ACPI 3.0B.
Fixed a possible leak of an Owner ID in the error
path of tbinstal.c acpi_tb_init_table_descriptor() and
migrated all table OwnerID deletion to a single place in
acpi_tb_uninstall_table() to correct possible leaks when using
the acpi_tb_delete_tables_by_type() interface (with assistance
from Lance Ortiz.)
Fixed a problem with Serialized control methods where the
semaphore associated with the method could be over-signaled
after multiple method invocations.
Fixed two issues with the locking of the internal
namespace data structure. Both the Unload() operator and
acpi_unload_table() interface now lock the namespace during
the namespace deletion associated with the table unload
(with assistance from Linn Crosetto.)
