If the BIOS reports an invalid throttling state (which seems to be
fairly common after system boot), a reset is done to state T0.
Because of a check in acpi_processor_get_throttling_ptc(), the reset
never actually gets executed, which results in the error reoccurring
on every access of for example /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling.
Add a 'force' option to acpi_processor_set_throttling() to ensure
the reset really takes effect.

This patch, together with the next one, fixes a regression introduced in
2.6.30, listed on the regression list. They have been available for 2.5
months now in bugzilla, but have not been picked up, despite various
reminders and without any reason given.
Google shows that numerous people are hitting this issue. The issue is in
itself relatively minor, but the bug in the code is clear.
The patches have been in all my kernels and today testing has shown that
throttling works correctly with the patches applied when the system
overheats (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13918#c14).

Currently clockevents_notify() is called with interrupts enabled at
some places and interrupts disabled at some other places.
This results in a deadlock in this scenario.
cpu A holds clockevents_lock in clockevents_notify() with irqs enabled
cpu B waits for clockevents_lock in clockevents_notify() with irqs disabled
cpu C doing set_mtrr() which will try to rendezvous of all the cpus.
This will result in C and A come to the rendezvous point and waiting
for B. B is stuck forever waiting for the spinlock and thus not
reaching the rendezvous point.
Fix the clockevents code so that clockevents_lock is taken with
interrupts disabled and thus avoid the above deadlock.
Also call lapic_timer_propagate_broadcast() on the destination cpu so
that we avoid calling smp_call_function() in the clockevents notifier
chain.
This issue left us wondering if we need to change the MTRR rendezvous
logic to use stop machine logic (instead of smp_call_function) or add
a check in spinlock debug code to see if there are other spinlocks
which gets taken under both interrupts enabled/disabled conditions.

When the ACPI video driver initializes, it does a namespace walk
looking for for supported devices. When we find an appropriate
handle, we walk up the ACPI tree looking for a PCI root bus, and
then walk back down the PCI bus, assuming that every device
inbetween is a P2P bridge.
This assumption is not correct, and is reported broken on at
least:
Dell Latitude E6400
ThinkPad X61
Dell XPS M1330
Add a NULL deref check to prevent boot panics.

Some BIOS re-use the same processor bus id
in different scope:
\_SB.SCK0.CPU0
\_SB.SCK1.CPU0
But the (deprecated) /proc/acpi/ interface
assumes the bus-id's are unique, resulting in an OOPS
when the processor driver is loaded:
WARNING: at fs/proc/generic.c:590 proc_register+0x148/0x180()

Rename the processor device bus id. And the new bus id will be
generated as the following format:
CPU+ CPU ID
For example: If the cpu ID is 5, then the bus ID will be "CPU5".
If the CPU ID is 10, then the bus ID will be "CPUA".
Yes, this will change the directory names seen
in /proc/acpi/processor/* on some systems.
Before this patch, those directory names where
totally arbitrary strings based on the interal AML device strings.

Sometimes both acpi video and i915 driver are compiled as modules.
And there exists the strict dependency between the two drivers.
The acpi video bus will be unloaded in course of unloading the i915 driver.
If we unload the acpi video driver, then the kernel oops will be triggered.
Add the reference count to avoid unloading the ACPI video bus twice.
The reference count should be checked before unregistering the acpi video bus.
If the reference count is already zero, it won't unregister it again.
And after the acpi video bus is already unregistered, the reference count
will be set to zero.

we used to run the hotplug code in keventd_wq.
But when hot removing the ACPI battery device,
power_supply_unregister invokes flush_scheduled_work.
This causes a deadlock. i.e
1. When dock is unplugged, all the hotplug code is run on kevent_wq.
2. the hotplug code removes all the child devices of dock device.
3. removing the child device may invoke flush_scheduled_work
4. flush_scheduled_work waits until all the work on kevent_wq to be
finished, while this will never be true because the hotplug code
is running on keventd_wq...
Introduce a new workqueue for hotplug in this patch.
