When ACPI reports current battery consumption rate in mAmps, print it also
in mWatts. Values in mAmps are not always suitable, because they depend on
battery voltage, which depends on battery type and charge level.

r214390 | jkim | 2010-10-26 21:59:50 +0300 (Tue, 26 Oct 2010) | 18 lines
Add two new loader tunables 'hw.acpi.install_interface' and
'hw.acpi.remove_interface'.  hw.acpi.install_interface lets you install new
interfaces.  Conversely, hw.acpi.remove_interface lets you remove OS
interfaces from the pre-defined list in ACPICA.  For example,
	hw.acpi.install_interface="FreeBSD"
lets _OSI("FreeBSD") method to return 0xffffffff (or success) and
	hw.acpi.remove_interface="Windows 2009"
lets _OSI("Windows 2009") method to return zero (or failure).  Both are
comma-separated lists and leading white spaces are ignored.  For example,
the following examples are valid:
	hw.acpi.install_interface="Linux, FreeBSD"
	hw.acpi.remove_interface="Windows 2006, Windows 2006.1"

Adjust a comment to clarify why \_SB_ and \_TZ_ are defined as device type
in ACPICA.  Reshuffle the code a bit to make sure this kludge only applies
to these two specical cases and to make it cleaner.

r214848 | jkim | 2010-11-05 21:50:09 +0200 (Fri, 05 Nov 2010) | 13 lines
Fix a use-after-free bug for extended IRQ resource[1].  When _PRS buffer is
copied as a template for _SRS, a string pointer for descriptor name is also
copied and it becomes stale as soon as it gets de-allocated[2].  Now _CRS is
used as a template for _SRS as ACPI specification suggests if it is usable.
The template from _PRS is still utilized but only when _CRS is not available
or broken.  To avoid use-after-free the problem in this case, however, only
mandatory fields are copied, optional data is removed, and structure length
is adjusted accordingly.
