[PATCH] linux-2.4.1-pre9/include/linux/acpi.h broke acpid compilation

	linux-2.4.1-pre9/include/linux/acpi.h contains declares the
routine acpi_get_rsdp_ptr returning the kernel-only type "u64", without
bracketing the declaration in "#ifdef __KERNEL__...#endif".  Consequently,
a user level program that attempts to include <linux/acpi.h>, such as
acpid, gets a compilation error.  The following patch fix the problem
by stretching an earlier "#ifdef __KERNEL__...#endif" area to cover
the acpi_get_rsdp_ptr declaration.

I sent a similar patch to the maintainer andy_henroid@yahoo.com on
December 29 but have received no response so far.
