This patch adds Toshiba NB100 to the Vista _OSI blacklist.
The _OSI(Windows 2006) method is bugged on the netbook resulting in
messed up PCI IRQ Routing information. This was observed on a netbook
whose SATA controller mode was set to Compatibility mode.
The controller would then issue IRQs to IRQ#16 instead of
IRQ#20, where it should have been.
No side-effects were found during testing, everything is
working as it did before.

In my original patch[1] I wrote a comment describing the reason for
disabling Windows 2012 OSI mode for a group of machines, however, due to
unknown reasons (probably a conflict resolution mismatch), the comment
was dropped in 94fb982 (ACPI: blacklist win8 OSI for buggy laptops).
Since Matthew Garrett is making a big deal out of the lack of comments
in a separate patch[2], it might make sense to re-introduce the missing
comment so that other patch is not blocked and users don't suffer.

Since v3.7 the acpi backlight driver doesn't work correctly in several
machines because ACPI code has different code for Windows 8, and the
rest.
The commit ea45ea7 (in v3.11-rc2) tried to fix this problem by using the
intel backlight driver, however it introduced several other issues in
different machines.
This patch fixes both regressions by blacklisting the win8 OSI, so we
are back to v3.6 behavior, and it should remain that way until the intel
backlight driver is fixed.
Since v3.7, users have been forced to fix the initial regression by
modifying the boot arguments (acpi_osi="!Windows 2012").
Once the Intel backlight driver works correctly for all machines, this
blacklist can be removed and that driver can be used instead.

Since v3.7 the ACPI backlight driver doesn't work at all on this
machine, because presumably the backlight AML code in the ACPI
tables contains a code path that triggers when the OS identifies
itself as compatible with Windows 8 (which the kernel started to
do in 3.7). That code path is never used by Windows and on this
particular machine it turns out to be unusable at all.
Work around this problem by blacklisting the win8 OSI, so we are back
to v3.6 behavior (that is, we don't tell the BIOS that we are
compatible with Windows 8).
Since v3.7, users have been forced to work around the initial
regression by modifying the boot arguments [1].

Fix a win7 compability issue on Asus K50IJ.
Here is the _BCM method of this laptop:
Method (_BCM, 1, NotSerialized)
{
If (LGreaterEqual (OSFG, OSVT))
{
If (LNotEqual (OSFG, OSW7))
{
Store (One, BCMD)
Store (GCBL (Arg0), Local0)
Subtract (0x0F, Local0, LBTN)
^^^SBRG.EC0.STBR ()
...
}
Else
{
DBGR (0x0B, Zero, Zero, Arg0)
Store (Arg0, LBTN)
^^^SBRG.EC0.STBR ()
...
}
}
}
LBTN is used to store the index of the brightness level in the _BCL.
GCBL is a method that convert the percentage value to the index value.
If _OSI(Windows 2009) is not disabled, LBTN is stored a percentage
value which is surely beyond the end of _BCL package.

There are cases where full date information is required instead of
just the year. Add month and day parsing to dmi_get_year() and rename
it to dmi_get_date().
As the original function only required '/' followed by any number of
parseable characters at the end of the string, keep that behavior to
avoid upsetting existing users.
The new function takes dates of format [mm[/dd]]/yy[yy]. Year, month
and date are checked to be in the ranges of [1-9999], [1-12] and
[1-31] respectively and any invalid or out-of-range component is
returned as zero.
The dummy implementation is updated accordingly but the return value
is updated to indicate field not found which is consistent with how
other dummy functions behave.

This DMI blacklist reduces the console messages
on systems which have a BIOS that invokes OSI(Linux).
As the DMI blacklist already knows about these systems,
the request for DMI info itself is disabled.
Further, if OSI(Linux) has already been determined
to have no beneift, we disable the console message
requesting acpi_osi=Linux test results.

If BIOS invokes _OSI(Linux), the kernel response
depends on what the ACPI DMI list knows about the system,
and that is reflectd in dmesg:

2) System known to DMI, but effect of OSI(Linux) unknown:

IMHO, ACPI disabled due to DMI failure or blacklisted year should be noted,
as is done with other ACPI blacklisting.
This will help people troubleshoot when ACPI isn't working. Status quo is
a mysterious "ACPI Disabled" message without explanation on BIOS that
implements ACPI but not DMI. This is actually fairly common on embedded
x86 boards.

- Move the core parser into dmi_scan.c. It can be useful for other
subsystems too.
- Differentiate between field doesn't exist and field is 0 or
unparseable. The first case is likely an old BIOS with broken ACPI,
the later is likely a slightly buggy BIOS where someone forget to
edit the date. Don't blacklist in the later case.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
