52a2b11caf ACPI: clean up video.c boundary checks and types
proc.c and video.c are a bit sloppy around types and style,
confusing gcc for a new feature that'll be in 2.6.33 and will
cause a warning on the current code.

This patch changes

if  (foo + 1 > sizeof bar)

into

if (foo >= sizeof(bar))

which is more kernel-style.

it also changes a variable in proc.c to unsigned; it gets assigned
a value from an unsigned type, and is then only compared for > not
for negative, so using unsigned is just outright the right type

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/333386

Currently a video bus device must (beside other criteria) define _DOD and
_DOS methods to be considered a video device.
Some broken BIOSes prevented working backlight control by only defining both
for one (non-existing bus) and only _DOD for the rest. With this patch in
place the other bus definitions were considered too and backlight control
started to work again.

497fb54f57 ACPI / PCI: Fix NULL pointer dereference in acpi_get_pci_dev() (rev. 2)
acpi_get_pci_dev() may be called for a non-PCI device, in which case
it should return NULL.  However, it assumes that every handle it
finds in the ACPI CA name space, between given device handle and the
PCI root bridge handle, corresponds to a PCI-to-PCI bridge with an
existing secondary bus.  For this reason, when it finds a struct
pci_dev object corresponding to one of them, it doesn't check if
its 'subordinate' field is a valid pointer.  This obviously leads to
a NULL pointer dereference if acpi_get_pci_dev() is called for a
non-PCI device with a PCI parent which is not a bridge.

To fix this issue make acpi_get_pci_dev() check if pdev->subordinate
is not NULL for every device it finds on the path between the root
bridge and the device it's supposed to get to and return NULL if the
"target" device cannot be found.

8716273cae x86: Export srat physical topology
This is the counterpart to "x86: export k8 physical topology" for
SRAT. It is not as invasive because the acpi code already seperates
node setup into detection and registration steps, with the
exception of registering e820 active regions in
acpi_numa_memory_affinity_init().  This is now moved to
acpi_scan_nodes() if NUMA emulation is disabled or deferred.

acpi_numa_init() now returns a value which specifies whether an
underlying SRAT was located.  If so, that topology can be used by
the emulation code to interleave emulated nodes over physical nodes
or to register the nodes for ACPI.

acpi_get_nodes() may now be used to export the srat physical
topology of the machine for NUMA emulation.

53412c5b12 ACPI: kill overly verbose "throttling states" log messages
I was recently lucky enough to get a 64-CPU system.  The processors
actually have T-states, so my kernel log ends up with 64 lines like:

    ACPI: Processor [CPU0] (supports xx throttling states)

This is pretty useless clutter because

 - this info is already available after boot from
   /proc/acpi/processor/CPUnn/throttling

 - there's also an ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT() in processor_throttling.c that
   gives the same info on boot for anyone who *really* cares.

So just delete the code that prints the throttling states in
processor_core.c.

d9f6501806 ACPI: Fix bound checks for copy_from_user in the acpi /proc code
The ACPI /proc write() code takes an unsigned length argument like any write()
function, but then assigned it to a *signed* integer called "len".
Only after this is a sanity check for len done to make it not larger than 4.

Due to the type change a len < 0 is in principle also possible; this patch
adds a check for this.

a83893ae90 ACPI: fix bus scanning memory leaks
Free an acpi_get_object_info() buffer when we're finished.  Skip the
acpi_get_name() altogether -- it was only used for a printk that was
really just for debug anyway.

e12ac3d018 ACPI: EC: Restart command even if no interrupts from EC
EC may forget a command without sending any "reset" interrupt,
thus we need to lessen the requirement for transaction restart.
