ACPI and power management fixes for 3.11-rc5
- ACPI-based memory hotplug stopped working after a recent change,
because it's not possible to associate sufficiently many "physical"
devices with one ACPI device object due to an artificial limit.
Fix from Rafael J Wysocki removes that limit and makes memory
hotplug work again.
- A change made in 3.9 uncovered a bug in the ACPI processor driver
preventing NUMA nodes from being put offline due to an ordering
issue. Fix from Yasuaki Ishimatsu changes the ordering to make
things work again.
- One of the recent ACPI video commits (that hasn't been reverted
so far) uncovered a bug in the code handling quirky BIOSes that
caused some Asus machines to boot with backlight completely off
which made it quite difficult to use them afterward. Fix from
Felipe Contreras improves the quirk to cover this particular
case correctly.
- A cpufreq user space interface change made in 3.10 inadvertently
renamed the ignore_nice_load sysfs attribute to ignore_nice which
resulted in some confusion. Fix from Viresh Kumar changes the name
back to ignore_nice_load.
- An initialization ordering change made in 3.9 broke cpufreq on
loongson2 boards. Fix from Aaro Koskinen restores the correct
initialization ordering there.
- Fix breakage resulting from a mistake made in 3.9 and causing the
detection of some graphics adapters (that were detected correctly
before) to fail. There are two objects representing the same PCIe
port in the affected systems' ACPI tables and both appear as
"enabled" and we are expected to guess which one to use. We used
to choose the right one before by pure luck, but when we tried to
address another similar corner case, the luck went away. This time
we try to make our guessing a bit more educated which is reported
to work on those systems.
- The /proc/acpi/wakeup interface code is missing some locking
which may lead to breakage if that file is written or read during
hotplug of wakeup devices. That should be rare but still possible,
so it's better to start using the appropriate locking there.
