ACPI: Cache battery status instead of re-evaluating AML
/proc exports _BST in a single file, and _BST is re-evaulated whenever that file is read. Sometimes user-space reads this file frequently, and on some systems _BST takes a long time to evaluate due to a slow EC. Further, when we move to sysfs, the values returned from _BST will be in multiple files, and evaluating _BST for each file read would make matters worse. Here code is added to support caching the results of _BST. A new module parameter "update_time" tells how many seconds the cached _BST should be used before it is re-evaluated. Currently, update_time defaults to 0, and so the existing behaviour of re-evaluating on each read retained.
