{HEADSUP] ACPICA 20100121 MFC to stable/8

[Andriy Gapon]

I am going to MFC ACPICA imports up to 20100121 plus some accompanying changes
to stable/8 during the next hour.

Please be extra attentive to this area during your next update and promptly
report any regressions that you might see.  Thank you!

Here's a link to ACPI-CA changelog:

Below are some additional technical details.

I would like to bring version of ACPICA in stable/8 to that of head, that is
20100121.

Here's svn status and svn diff outputs for the merge:
http://people.freebsd.org/~avg/stable-8-acpi.status.txt
http://people.freebsd.org/~avg/stable-8-acpi.diff

I've performed this MFC by doing series of svn merges first to sys, then to
usr.sbin/acpi.  I hope that this is a correct approach.
I have some doubts because of heard suggestions that such merges should be done
from vendor area.  But, OTOH, in head there were direct commits sys to fix
consequences of merge from vendor area.
Subversion gurus, please advise!

Please also check if I haven't forgot to MFC something or maybe MFC-ed something
unneeded, or made some other mistake.

The change is compile tested on i386 and amd64, and run-tested on amd64, but on
a rather 'plain' machine from ACPI point of view.
If you would like and are able to test this change, I will greatly appreciate
your feedback!

Some arguments for doing this MFC (copied from an earlier email to jkim):
First, it gets more testing.
Then, I think it would be hard to keep it at the current version forever.
Because some bugs get discovered and, as people get newer hardware, they are
more likely to hit those bugs, and the people will demand fixes :-) And 8-STABLE
is expected to have an active life for at least 2 years.
And, the more frequent will be the updates, the easier it should be to catch
bugs and fix them. One thing is getting a year's worth of changes, another is
that of a month.

Below is the list of the MFC-ed changes.  It was generated in semi-automated
fashion, so I might have made a mistake somewhere and the list could be incorrect:

Compile ACPI debugger and disassembler for kernel modules unconditionally.
These files will generate almost empty object files without ACPI_DEBUG/DDB
