[PATCH]: ACPI: Delete the evaluation of _GTS/_BFS object

[PATCH]: ACPI: Delete the evaluation of _GTS/_BFS object

[yakui_zhao]

From: Zhao Yakui <yakui.zhao@intel.com>

According to the ACPI 3.0b spec the _GTS/_BFS object is defined, in which the
specific function can be performed.  And the _GTS object should be evaluated
just prior to setting the SLP_EN register.

But on most boxes there is no _GTS/_BFS object. And even when they exists,
they won't be evaluated on windows XP/Vista. 

At the same time on one box there exists the _GTS object, in which the EC
is accessed. If EC access is deleted in _GTS object, the S3/S4/S5 can work
well. In fact this bug is also related with the incorrect EC working mode.
In the course of suspend/resume/shutdown the polling mode should be used
and the udelay should be used instead of msleep because the timer interrupt
is disabled.

But it will be easier to delete the _GTS/_BFS object.
