Most batteries today are ACPI "Control Method" batteries,
but some models ship with the older "Smart Battery"
that requires this code.
Rich Townsend and Bruno Ducrot were the original authors.
Vladimir Lebedev updated to run on latest kernel.

Create a driver which lives in the acpi subsystem to handle dock events.
This driver is not an "ACPI" driver, because acpi drivers require that the
object be present when the driver is loaded.

(cherry picked from ef4611613657dfb8af8d336f2f61f08cfcdc9d8a commit)
Delete the ability to build an ACPI kernel that does
not include PCI support. When such a machine is created
and it requires a tuned kernel, send a patch.

Implement the framework for binding physical devices
with ACPI devices. A physical bus like PCI bus
should create a 'acpi_bus_type', with:
.find_device:
For device which has parent such as normal PCI devices.
.find_bridge:
It's for special devices, such as PCI root bridge
or IDE controller. Such devices generally haven't a
parent or ->bus. We use the special method
to get an ACPI handle.
Uses new field in struct device: firmware_data

legacy platform specific drivers.

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!
