ACPICA: Add support for multiple notify handlers

From: Bob Moore <robert.moore@intel.com>

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1153977

This change adds support to allow multiple notify handlers on
Device, ThermalZone, and Processor objects. Also re-worked
and restructured the entire notify support code for handler
installation, handler removal, notify event queuing, and notify
dispatch to handler.

Extends and updates original commit 3f0be67("ACPI / ACPICA: Multiple
system notify handlers per device") by Rafael Wysocki.

Has there been _any_ regression testing on this ? Frankly, the only
reason I'd consider a patch of this magnitude is because it is a clean
cherry-pick.

Acelan,

The bug is quite vague on what the exact issue is that this patchset is
attempting to fix. I'm assuming that for some model of some system
something isn't working right. However, from the bug I can't tell what
the feature is that is broken.

This is a significant patch to a subsystem that is used by every x86
system on the planet. Without a better understanding of why this is
needed and why a more targeted patch isn't more applicable, this is
not likely to get accepted.

Brad

Hi,

Yes, it's a clear cherry-pick.

Best regards,

Hi,

I wish I have more reason to tell you about this patch and the problem.
All I know is that we got some ACPI warning messages from dmesg[1] and
there is no /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0 be created.
With the patched kernel, I can see the kernel found 2 ACPI video devices,
they are
ACPI: Video Device [PEG0] (multi-head: yes rom: no post: no)
ACPI: Video Device [VGA] (multi-head: yes rom: no post: no)
and the brightness functions work well.

I found that using mainstream kernel v3.6-rc1 can fix this problem,
so I try to bisect the kernel and found this commit.
86ed4bc ACPICA: Add support for multiple notify handlers
It can be clearly cherry-picked to the ubuntu quantal kernel.

1. The dmesg log is attached on the bug.

Best regards,
AceLan Kao.
