This patch extends ibm-acpi to support reading thermal sensors directly
through ACPI EC register access. It uses a DMI match to detect ThinkPads
with a new-style embedded controller, that are known to have forward-
compatible register maps and use 0x00 to fill in non-used registers and
export thermal sensors at EC offsets 0x78-7F and 0xC0-C7.
Direct ACPI EC register access is implemented for 8-sensor and 16-sensor
new-style ThinkPad controller firmwares as an experimental feature. The
code does some limited sanity checks on the temperatures read through EC
access, and will default to the old ACPI TMP0-7 mode if anything is amiss.
Userspace ABI is not changed for 8 sensors, but /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal is
extended for 16 sensors if the firmware supports 16 sensors.
A documentation update is also provided.
The information about the ThinkPad register map was determined by studying
ibm-acpi "ecdump" output from various ThinkPad models, submitted by
subscribers of the linux-thinkpad mailinglist. Futher information was
gathered from the DSDT tables, as they describe the EC register map in
recent ThinkPads.
DSDT source shows that TMP0-7 access and direct register access are
actually the same thing on these firmwares, but unfortunately IBM never
did update their DSDT EC register map to export TMP8-TMP15 for the second
range of sensors.

This patch consolidades all decisions regarding the strategy to be used to
read thinkpad thermal sensors into a single enum, and refactors the
thermal sensor reading code to use a much more readable (and easier to
extend) switch() construct, in a separate function.

ibm-acpi uses sub-device names like ibm/hotkey, which get in the way of
a sysfs conversion. Fix it to use ibm_hotkey instead. Thanks to Zhang
Rui for noticing this.

Add support for the generic backlight interface below /sys/class/backlight.
The patch keeps the procfs brightness handling for backward compatibility.
Add two generic functions brightness_get and brightness_set
to be used both by the procfs related and the sysfs related methods.

The WAN (Sierra Wireless EV-DO) module is very similar to the
Bluetooth module. It appears on the USB bus when enabled. It can be
controlled via hot key, or directly via ACPI. This change enables
direct control via ACPI.
I have tested it on my Lenovo Thinkpad X60; I guess it will probably
work on other Thinkpad models which come with this module installed.

Remove dock station support from ibm_acpi by default. This support has
been put into acpiphp instead. Allow ibm_acpi to continue to provide
docking station support via config option for laptops/docking stations
that are not supported by acpiphp.

Implement the framework for binding physical devices
with ACPI devices. A physical bus like PCI bus
should create a 'acpi_bus_type', with:
.find_device:
For device which has parent such as normal PCI devices.
.find_bridge:
It's for special devices, such as PCI root bridge
or IDE controller. Such devices generally haven't a
parent or ->bus. We use the special method
to get an ACPI handle.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
