Problem seems to be that hw fails to clear GPE after we service it and write 1
into corresponding bit. Thus, as soon as we get interrupts enabled again, we
receive a new one. Google gives too many results for "acer interrupt storm" for
this being one-broken-machine case.

This fixes keyboard event handling on some systems.
Note that this delay was thought unnecessary, and removed
from linux-2.6.20 with 50c1e1138c
'ACPI: ec: Drop udelay() from poll mode. Loop by reading status field instead.'

This reverts commit 2c81ce4c9c.
It caused several new troubles (eg suspend slowdown bisected down to
this patch by Pavel Machek), so just revert it for now.

begin_undock() is only called when triggered via a acpi notify handler
(pressing the undock button on the dock station), but complete_undock() is
always called after the eject. So if a undock is triggered through a sysfs
write, the flag DOCK_UNDOCKING has to be set for the dock station,
too. Otherwise this will freeze the system hard.

led_out is boolean, so there is no functional change here,
but apparently an extra mask with 1 caused some style checkers
to flag this as logic bug.

Acer BIOS has a bug which is exposed when a dead battery is present.
The package template that is used to describe battery status is
over-written with sane values when the battery is live.
But when the batter is dead, a bogus reference in the template
is used. In this case, Linux returns a fault, when instead
it should simply return that it doesn't know the missing value.

This essentially reverts commit 71fc47a9ad
("ACPI: basic initramfs DSDT override support"), because the code simply
isn't ready.
It did ugly things to the init sequence to populate the rootfs image
early, but that just ended up showing other problems with the whole
approach. The fact is, the VFS layer simply isn't initialized this
early, and the relevant ACPI code should either run much later, or this
shouldn't be done at all.
For 2.6.25, we'll just pick the latter option. We can revisit this
concept later if necessary.

Since "ff_gbl_lock" has a length of 11 chars and is copied with sprintf
to char buffer[10], there is a problem. We need char buffer[12] because
of the closing zero byte.
