[PATCH] ACPI: introduce module parameter video.allow_duplicates

[Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com>]

Introduce module parameter video.allow_duplicates.

Some buggy BIOS exports multiple ACPI video bus devices for the same
VGA controller, and multiple backlight control methods as well.
This messes up the ACPI video backlight control.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13577

With this patch applied, only the FIRST ACPI video bus device
under a PCI device node is bind to ACPI video driver by default.

If the first ACPI video bus device doesn't work well, we can use
video.allow_duplicates=1 to go back to the old behavior.
