The ACPI specification describes PM1*_CNT_BLK.BM_RLD in two places.
The first description says that the OS needs to set BM_RLD
to enable bus master activity to wake the processor from C3.
The second description says that the platform sets BM_RLD
to indicate whether it was bus master activity that woke the
platform from C3 or not.
The first description is erroneous, the second description is correct.
Delete Linux's implementation of the first description.

I've been told that BM_RLD is not a NOP in the PIIX4 - ICH4-M generations;
and that those chips follow the 1st description in the ACPI spec, not
the second. (I've also submitted a bug against the ACPI spec:-)
So the patch below is no good.
But the old code still isn't quite right.
It seems we should just set BM_RLD at initialization and forget about it
rather than monkeying with it at run-time.
cheers,
-Len
