The (1.0 inherited) separate length fields in the FADT are byte granular.
Further, PM1a/b may have distinct lengths and live in distinct address spaces.
 acpi_tb_convert_fadt() should account for all of these conditions.

Apart from these changes I'm puzzled by the fact that, not just for
acpi_gbl_xpm1{a,b}_enable, acpi_hw_low_level_{read,write}() get an explicit
size passed rather than using the size found in the passed GAS.  What happens
on a platform that defines PM1{a,b} wider than 16 bits?  Of course,
acpi_hw_low_level_{read,write}() at present are entirely un-prepared to deal
with sizes other than 8, 16, or 32, not to speak of a non-zero bit_offset or
access_width...

The HP CCSR descriptor describes MMIO address space that should appear
as a MEM resource.  This patch adds support for parsing these descriptors
in the _CRS data.

The visible effect of this is that these MEM resources will appear
in /sys/devices/pnp0/.../resources, which means that "lspnp -v" will
report it, user applications can use this to locate device CSR space,
and kernel drivers can use the normal PNP resource accessors to
locate them.

ISAPNP, PNPBIOS, and ACPI describe the "possible resource settings" of
a device, i.e., the possibilities an OS bus driver has when it assigns
I/O port, MMIO, and other resources to the device.

PNP used to maintain this "possible resource setting" information in
one independent option structure and a list of dependent option
structures for each device.  Each of these option structures had lists
of I/O, memory, IRQ, and DMA resources, for example:

  dev
    independent options
      ind-io0  -> ind-io1  ...
      ind-mem0 -> ind-mem1 ...
      ...
    dependent option set 0
      dep0-io0  -> dep0-io1  ...
      dep0-mem0 -> dep0-mem1 ...
      ...
    dependent option set 1
      dep1-io0  -> dep1-io1  ...
      dep1-mem0 -> dep1-mem1 ...
      ...
    ...

This data structure was designed for ISAPNP, where the OS configures
device resource settings by writing directly to configuration
registers.  The OS can write the registers in arbitrary order much
like it writes PCI BARs.

However, for PNPBIOS and ACPI devices, the OS uses firmware interfaces
that perform device configuration, and it is important to pass the
desired settings to those interfaces in the correct order.  The OS
learns the correct order by using firmware interfaces that return the
"current resource settings" and "possible resource settings," but the
option structures above doesn't store the ordering information.

This patch replaces the independent and dependent lists with a single
list of options.  For example, a device might have possible resource
settings like this:

  dev
    options
      ind-io0 -> dep0-io0 -> dep1->io0 -> ind-io1 ...

All the possible settings are in the same list, in the order they
come from the firmware "possible resource settings" list.  Each entry
is tagged with an independent/dependent flag.  Dependent entries also
have a "set number" and an optional priority value.  All dependent
entries must be assigned from the same set.  For example, the OS can
use all the entries from dependent set 0, or all the entries from
dependent set 1, but it cannot mix entries from set 0 with entries
from set 1.

Prior to this patch PNP didn't keep track of the order of this list,
and it assigned all independent options first, then all dependent
ones.  Using the example above, that resulted in a "desired
configuration" list like this:

  ind->io0 -> ind->io1 -> depN-io0 ...

instead of the list the firmware expects, which looks like this:

  ind->io0 -> depN-io0 -> ind-io1 ...

The ISAPNP spec recommends that independent options precede
dependent ones, but this is not actually required.  The current
ISAPNP code incorrectly puts such trailing independent options
at the end of the last dependent option list.

This patch fixes that bug by resetting the current option list
to the independent list when we see an "End Dependent Functions"
tag.  PNPBIOS and PNPACPI handle this the same way.

When building resource options, ISAPNP and PNPBIOS set the priority
to something like "0x100 | PNP_RES_PRIORITY_ACCEPTABLE", but we
immediately mask off the 0x100 again in pnp_build_option(), so that

This patch adds an IORESOURCE_IRQ_OPTIONAL flag for use when
assigning resources to a device.  If the flag is set and we are
unable to assign an IRQ to the device, we can leave the IRQ
disabled but allow the overall resource allocation to succeed.

Some devices request an IRQ, but can run without an IRQ
(possibly with degraded performance).  This flag lets us run
the device without the IRQ instead of just leaving the
device disabled.

This is a reimplementation of this previous change by Rene
Herman <rene.herman@gmail.com>:
    http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=3b73a223661ed137c5d3d2635f954382e94f5a43

I reimplemented this for two reasons:
    - to prepare for converting all resource options into a single linked
      list, as opposed to the per-resource-type lists we have now, and
    - to preserve the order and number of resource options.

In PNPBIOS and ACPI, we configure a device by giving firmware a
list of resource assignments.  It is important that this list
has exactly the same number of resources, in the same order,
as the "template" list we got from the firmware in the first
place.

The problem of a sound card MPU401 being left disabled for want of
an IRQ was reported by Uwe Bugla <uwe.bugla@gmx.de>.

ACPI Extended Interrupt Descriptors can encode 32-bit interrupt
numbers, so an interrupt number may exceed the size of the bitmap
we use to track possible IRQ settings.

To avoid corrupting memory, complain and ignore too-large interrupt
numbers.

There's similar code in pnpacpi_parse_irq_option(), but I didn't
change that because the small IRQ descriptor can only encode
IRQs 0-15, which do not exceed bitmap size.

In the future, we could handle IRQ numbers greater than PNP_IRQ_NR
by replacing the bitmap with a table or list.

This patch moves all the option allocations (pnp_mem, pnp_port, etc)
into the pnp_register_{mem,port,irq,dma}_resource() functions.  This
will make it easier to rework the option data structures.

The non-trivial part of this patch is the IRQ handling.  The backends
have to allocate a local pnp_irq_mask_t bitmap, populate it, and pass
a pointer to pnp_register_irq_resource().

Rather than stepping through all IO resources, then stepping through
all MMIO resources, etc., we can just iterate over the resource list
once directly.

This can change the order in /sys, e.g.,

    # cat /sys/devices/pnp0/00:07/resources     # OLD
    state = active
    io 0x3f8-0x3ff
    irq 4

    # cat /sys/devices/pnp0/00:07/resources     # NEW
    state = active
    irq 4
    io 0x3f8-0x3ff

The old code artificially sorted resources by type; the new code
just lists them in the order we read them from the ISAPNP hardware
or the BIOS.

We used to have a fixed-size resource table.  If a device had
twenty resources when the table only had space for ten, we didn't

Now that we can dynamically allocate new resources, we should

When we parse a device's _CRS data (the current resource settings),
we should keep track of everything we find, even if it's currently
disabled or invalid.

This is what we already do for ISAPNP and PNPBIOS, and it helps
keep things matched up when we subsequently re-encode resources.
For example, consider a device with (mem, irq0, irq1, io), where
irq0 is disabled.  If we drop irq0 when parsing the _CRS, we will
mistakenly put irq1 in the irq0 slot when we encode resources
for an _SRS call.

PNP used to have a fixed-size pnp_resource_table for tracking the
resources used by a device.  This table often overflowed, so we've
had to increase the table size, which wastes memory because most
devices have very few resources.

This patch replaces the table with a linked list of resources where
the entries are allocated on demand.

This removes messages like these:

    pnpacpi: exceeded the max number of IO resources
    00:01: too many I/O port resources

References:

    http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9740
    http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/11/30/110

This patch also changes the way PNP uses the IORESOURCE_UNSET,
IORESOURCE_AUTO, and IORESOURCE_DISABLED flags.

Prior to this patch, the pnp_resource_table entries used the flags
like this:

    IORESOURCE_UNSET
	This table entry is unused and available for use.  When this flag
	is set, we shouldn't look at anything else in the resource structure.
	This flag is set when a resource table entry is initialized.

    IORESOURCE_AUTO
	This resource was assigned automatically by pnp_assign_{io,mem,etc}().

	This flag is set when a resource table entry is initialized and
	cleared whenever we discover a resource setting by reading an ISAPNP
	config register, parsing a PNPBIOS resource data stream, parsing an
	ACPI _CRS list, or interpreting a sysfs "set" command.

	Resources marked IORESOURCE_AUTO are reinitialized and marked as
	IORESOURCE_UNSET by pnp_clean_resource_table() in these cases:

	    - before we attempt to assign resources automatically,
	    - if we fail to assign resources automatically,
	    - after disabling a device

    IORESOURCE_DISABLED
	Set by pnp_assign_{io,mem,etc}() when automatic assignment fails.
	Also set by PNPBIOS and PNPACPI for:

	    - invalid IRQs or GSI registration failures
	    - invalid DMA channels
	    - I/O ports above 0x10000
	    - mem ranges with negative length

After this patch, there is no pnp_resource_table, and the resource list
entries use the flags like this:

    IORESOURCE_UNSET
	This flag is no longer used in PNP.  Instead of keeping
	IORESOURCE_UNSET entries in the resource list, we remove
	entries from the list and free them.

    IORESOURCE_AUTO
	No change in meaning: it still means the resource was assigned
	automatically by pnp_assign_{port,mem,etc}(), but these functions
	now set the bit explicitly.

	We still "clean" a device's resource list in the same places,
	but rather than reinitializing IORESOURCE_AUTO entries, we
	just remove them from the list.

	Note that IORESOURCE_AUTO entries are always at the end of the
	list, so removing them doesn't reorder other list entries.
	This is because non-IORESOURCE_AUTO entries are added by the
	ISAPNP, PNPBIOS, or PNPACPI "get resources" methods and by the
	sysfs "set" command.  In each of these cases, we completely free
	the resource list first.

    IORESOURCE_DISABLED
	In addition to the cases where we used to set this flag, ISAPNP now
	adds an IORESOURCE_DISABLED resource when it reads a configuration
	register with a "disabled" value.

Some callers use pnp_port_start() and similar functions without

back to returning the initial values if the resource is not

This mostly preserves the previous behavior, where we would just
return the initial values set by pnp_init_resource_table().  The
original 2.6.25 code didn't range-check the "bar", so it would
return garbage if the bar exceeded the table size.  This code

This option is useful for power and performance
comparisons, and also to work around BIOS bugs
where broken MWAIT support is advertised.

"idle=halt" limits the idle loop to using
the halt instruction.  No MWAIT, no IO accesses,
no C-states deeper than C1.

If something is broken in the idle code,
"idle=halt" is a less severe workaround
than "idle=poll" which disables all power savings.
