It would appear that in BIOS's with nVidia hooks, the GUID
05901221-D566-11D1-B2F0-00A0C9062910 is duplicated. For now, the simplest
solution is to just ignore any duplicate GUIDs. These particular hooks are not
currently supported/ used in the kernel, so whoever does that can figure out
what the 'right' solution should be (if there's a better one).

The commit 1fdd407f4e incorrectly made driver
abort loading when known GUID is present when it should have done exactly
the opposite.

When acpi_evaluate_object() is passed ACPI_ALLOCATE_BUFFER,
the caller must kfree the returned buffer if AE_OK is returned.
The callers of wmi_get_event_data() pass ACPI_ALLOCATE_BUFFER,
and thus must check its return value before accessing
or kfree() on the buffer.

Emphasize that that wmi_install_notify_handler() returns an acpi_status
rather than -errno by by testing ACPI_SUCCESS(), ACPI_FAILURE().
No functional change in this patch, but this confusion caused a bug in dell-wmi.

follow 0/-E convention
wmi_install_notify_handler() returns an acpi_error,
but dell_wmi_init() needs return a -errno style error.

Document that rfkill and ALSA functionality exists, but requires the
subsystems to be available, and not modular if thinkpad-acpi is not
modular.

Allow the user to choose through Kconfig if the Console Audio Control
interface (aka "volume subdriver") should be available or not.
This not only saves some memory, but also allows the thinkpad-acpi
driver to be built-in even if ALSA is modular when the console audio
control interface is not wanted.
This change fixes a build problem that is causing some annoyances, in
a way that doesn't disable the entire driver on kernels without ALSA
support.

If we cannot create the ALSA mixer, it is a good reason to fail to
load the volume subdriver, and not to fail to load the entire module.
While at it, add more debugging messages, as the error paths are being
used a lot more than I'd expect, and it is failing to set up the ALSA
mixer on a number of ThinkPads.

We don't want to be the first soundcard. We don't want to shift other
soundcards out of the way either, even if they load much later.
Ask ALSA to (by default) load us in one of the last three slots. This
can be overriden at will using the "index" parameter.

These function allocate an acpi object by calling wmi_get_event_data, which
then calls acpi_evaluate_object, and it is not freed afterwards.
And kernel doc is fixed for parameters of wmi_get_event_data.

The module alias currently matches any Acer computer but when loaded the
BIOS checks will only succeed on Aspire One models. This causes a invalid
BIOS warning for all other models (seen on Aspire 4810T). This is not
fatal but worries users that see this message. Limiting the moule alias
to models starting with AOA or DOA for Packard Bell.
