In fact, I don't see why we need to redefine the symbols at all.

Couldn't acpi_set_firmware_waking_vector() be defined to take u32 and u64 so
we could just pass acpi_wakeup_address (as already defined) as the first argument
and 0 as the second argument to it? The back-and-forth type casts from and
to acpi_physical_address don't look entirely clean to me.

Moreover, I don't really see a functional difference between the old and the
new code.

The old code does "set the 32-bit waking vector and clear the 64-bit waking
vector if present". The new code does "set the 32-bit waking vector and
either clear the 64-bit one if present, or assign the second function argument
to it", but we always pass 0 as the second argument (which is *extremely*
obfuscated in your patch), so I really don't see the difference here.

Am I missing anything?
