[BKPATCH] ACPI for 2.4

[Len Brown <len.brown-ral2JQCrhuEAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>]

Hi Marcelo, please do a 

	bk pull bk://linux-acpi.bkbits.net/linux-acpi-release-2.4.26

	Several key fixes.
	SCI polarity/trigger fix
	cardbus bridge interrupt fix
	maxcpus=N/2 can now be used (like NR_CPUS) to disable HT

thanks,
-Len

ps. a plain patch is also available here:

   [ACPI] clean up acpi_disabled use

<len.brown-ral2JQCrhuEAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> (04/03/17 1.1063.46.84)
   [ACPI] check "maxcpus=N" early -- same as NR_CPUS check.
   http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2317
   
   When the BIOS enumerates physical processors before logical,
   maxcpus=N/2 will now effectively disable HT.
   
   This can be verified by boot messages warning that HT is off:
   eg. "maxcpus=2" on a 2xHT system:
   
   Total of 2 processors activated (11141.12 BogoMIPS).
   WARNING: No sibling found for CPU 0.
   WARNING: No sibling found for CPU 1.
