a192a9580b ACPI: Move definition of PREFIX from acpi_bus.h to internal..h
Linux/ACPI core files using internal.h all PREFIX "ACPI: ",
however, not all ACPI drivers use/want it -- and they
should not have to #undef PREFIX to define their own.

Add GPL commment to internal.h while we are there.

This does not change any actual console output,
asside from a whitespace fix.

ff491a7334 netlink: change return-value logic of netlink_broadcast()
Currently, netlink_broadcast() reports errors to the caller if no
messages at all were delivered:

1) If, at least, one message has been delivered correctly, returns 0.
2) Otherwise, if no messages at all were delivered due to skb_clone()
   failure, return -ENOBUFS.
3) Otherwise, if there are no listeners, return -ESRCH.

With this patch, the caller knows if the delivery of any of the
messages to the listeners have failed:

1) If it fails to deliver any message (for whatever reason), return
   -ENOBUFS.
2) Otherwise, if all messages were delivered OK, returns 0.
3) Otherwise, if no listeners, return -ESRCH.

In the current ctnetlink code and in Netfilter in general, we can add
reliable logging and connection tracking event delivery by dropping the
packets whose events were not successfully delivered over Netlink. Of
course, this option would be settable via /proc as this approach reduces
performance (in terms of filtered connections per seconds by a stateful
firewall) but providing reliable logging and event delivery (for
conntrackd) in return.

This patch also changes some clients of netlink_broadcast() that
may report ENOBUFS errors via printk. This error handling is not
of any help. Instead, the userspace daemons that are listening to
those netlink messages should resync themselves with the kernel-side
if they hit ENOBUFS.

BTW, netlink_broadcast() clients include those that call
cn_netlink_send(), nlmsg_multicast() and genlmsg_multicast() since they
internally call netlink_broadcast() and return its error value.

cf7acfab03 acpi: use non-racy method for proc entries creation
Use proc_create()/proc_create_data() to make sure that ->proc_fops and ->data
be setup before gluing PDE to main tree.

Add correct ->owner to proc_fops to fix reading/module unloading race.

14e04fb34f ACPI: Schedule /proc/acpi/event for removal
Schedule /proc/acpi/event for removal in 6 months.

Re-name acpi_bus_generate_event() to acpi_bus_generate_proc_event()
to make sure there is no confusion that it is for /proc/acpi/event only.

Add CONFIG_ACPI_PROC_EVENT to allow removal of /proc/acpi/event.
There is no functional change if CONFIG_ACPI_PROC_EVENT=y

962ce8ca06 ACPI: don't duplicate input events on netlink
The previous events patch added a netlink event for every
user of the legacy /proc/acpi/event interface.

However, some users of /proc/acpi/event are really input events,
and they already report their events via the input layer.

Introduce a new interface, acpi_bus_generate_netlink_event(),
which is explicitly called by devices that want to repoprt
events via netlink.  This allows the input-like events
to opt-out of generating netlink events.  In summary:

events that are sent via netlink:
	ac/battery/sbs
	thermal
	processor
	thinkpad_acpi dock/bay

events that are sent via input layer:
	button
	video hotkey
	thinkpad_acpi hotkey
	asus_acpi/asus-laptop hotkey
	sonypi/sonylaptop

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
