Hi Rafael,

I think the simplest way to sort this out is for this series to go via
the ACPI tree if that's OK for Thomas, given that the ACPICA code will
go via the ACPI tree anyway and there are other dependencies on it there
I assume (this series is fairly self-contained).

Or I can hack together a patch that provides the ACPICA structs needed in an
irqchip header file, conditional on the ACPICA version, add it to this series
and remove it at 7.0-rc1, it does not make much sense to create this churn
given that ACPICA code will be merged this cycle but it is doable.

Please let me know how we can handle it.

Thanks both !
Lorenzo
