I looked into this and it turns out to be more involved than expected,
and requires adding stubs at multiple layers. We may end up either
sneaking in only what we require or a non-trivial change which may
involve too many parameters.

If you would agree, I will guard the ACPI calls used in this patchset with
#ifdef CONFIG_ACPI to keep things self-contained. If you think adding the
stubs is worthwhile, we can take them up as a separate series.
