[BKPATCH] ACPI 2.6

[Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>]

Hi Linus, please do a 

	bk pull http://linux-acpi.bkbits.net/linux-acpi-release-2.6.0

	The world will not stop revolving if these wait till 2.6.1,
	but it will make 2.6.0 easier to support if they're included.

	3 bug fixes -- all are in 2.4:

	1390: adds cmdline to allow manual over-ride if out policy
		of forcing the ACPI SCI to level triggered is wrong.

		If we don't apply, some folks with no ACPI events
		will need to patch.

	1177: makes print_IO_APIC() output useful instead of garbage.

		If we don't apply, then we need to send this patch
		to anybody who has an IO-APIC mode interrupt issue
		in ACPI mode.

	1434: 1-line panic fix
		BIOS with correct ACPI table check-sums but garbled
		data can cause panic immediately after loading with
		no kernel output unless this is fixed.

thanks,
-Len

ps. a plain patch is also available here:

   [ACPI] "acpi_pic_sci=edge" in case platform requires Edge Triggered
SCI
   http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1390

<len.brown@intel.com> (03/11/18 1.1452)
   [ACPI] print_IO_APIC() only after it is programmed
   http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1177

<len.brown@intel.com> (03/11/07 1.1414.1.7)
   [ACPI] In ACPI mode, delay print_IO_APIC() to make its output valid.
   http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1177

<len.brown@intel.com> (03/11/07 1.1414.1.6)
   [ACPI] If ACPI is disabled by DMI BIOS date, then
   turn it off completely, including table parsing for HT.
   This avoids a crash due to ancient garbled tables.
   acpi=force is available to over-ride this default.
