If an ACPI graphics device supports backlight brightness functions (cmp. with
latest ACPI spec Appendix B), let the ACPI video driver control backlight and
switch backlight control off in vendor specific ACPI drivers (asus_acpi,
thinkpad_acpi, eeepc, fujitsu_laptop, msi_laptop, sony_laptop, acer-wmi).
Currently it is possible to load above drivers and let both poke on the
brightness HW registers, the video and vendor specific ACPI drivers -> bad.
This patch provides the basic support to check for BIOS capabilities before
driver loading time. Driver specific modifications are in separate follow up
patches.
"acpi_backlight=vendor"
Prever vendor driver over ACPI driver for backlight.
"acpi_backlight=video" (default)
Prever ACPI driver over vendor driver for backlight.

This is a reimplemention of commit
0119509c4f
from Matthew Garrett <mjg59@srcf.ucam.org>
This patch got removed because of a regression: ThinkPads with a
Intel graphics card and an Integrated Graphics Device BIOS implementation
stopped working.
In fact, they only worked because the ACPI device of the discrete, the
wrong one, got used (via int10). So ACPI functions were poking on the wrong
hardware used which is a sever bug.
The next patch provides support for above ThinkPads to be able to
switch brightness via the legacy thinkpad_acpi driver and automatically
detect when to use it.
Original commit message from Matthew Garrett:
Vendors often ship machines with a choice of integrated or discrete
graphics, and use the same DSDT for both. As a result, the ACPI video
module will locate devices that may not exist on this specific platform.
Attempt to determine whether the device exists or not, and abort the
device creation if it doesn't.

# *DOCUMENTATION*
When initializing an uninitialized block group in ext4_new_inode(),
its block group checksum must be re-calculated. This fixes a race
when several threads try to allocate a new inode in an UNINIT'd group.
There is some question whether we need to be initializing the block
bitmap in ext4_new_inode() at all, but for now, if we are going to
init the block group, let's eliminate the race.

Xen requires that all mappings of pagetable pages are read-only, so
that they can't be updated illegally. As a result, if a page is being
turned into a pagetable page, we need to make sure all its mappings
are RO.
If the page had been used for ioremap or vmalloc, it may still have
left over mappings as a result of not having been lazily unmapped.
This change makes sure we explicitly mop them all up before pinning
the page.
Unlike aliases created by kmap, the there can be vmalloc aliases even
for non-high pages, so we must do the flush unconditionally.

This patch is part of a larger patch series which will remove
the "char bus_id[20]" name string from struct device. The device
name is managed in the kobject anyway, and without any size
limitation, and just needlessly copied into "struct device".
To set and read the device name dev_name(dev) and dev_set_name(dev)
must be used. If your code uses static kobjects, which it shouldn't
do, "const char *init_name" can be used to statically provide the
name the registered device should have. At registration time, the
init_name field is cleared, to enforce the use of dev_name(dev) to
access the device name at a later time.
We need to get rid of all occurrences of bus_id in the entire tree
to be able to enable the new interface. Please apply this patch,
and possibly convert any remaining remaining occurrences of bus_id.
We want to submit a patch to -next, which will remove bus_id from
"struct device", to find the remaining pieces to convert, and finally
switch over to the new api, which will remove the 20 bytes array
and does no longer have a size limitation.

Associating a Local SAPIC with a processor object is dependent upon the
processor object's definition type. CPUs declared as "Processor" should
use the Local SAPIC's 'processor_id', and CPUs declared as "Device"
should use the 'uid'. Note that for "Processor" declarations, even if a
'_UID' child object exists, it has no bearing with respect to mapping
Local SAPICs (see section 5.2.11.13 - Local SAPIC Structure; "Advanced
Configuration and Power Interface Specification", Revision 3.0b).
This patch changes the lsapic mapping logic to rely on the distinction of
how the processor object was declared - the mapping can't just try both
types of matches regardless of declaration type and rely on one failing
as is currently being done.

Declaring processors in ACPI namespace can be done using either a
"Processor" definition or a "Device" definition (see section 8.4 -
Declaring Processors; "Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
Specification", Revision 3.0b). Currently the two processor
declaration types are conflated.
This patch disambiguates the processor declaration's definition type
enabling subsequent code to behave uniquely based explicitly on the
declaration's type.
