    ACPI: Don't use driver model for struct acpi_device; use driverfs directly. · dfb48f5c
    Patrick Mochel authored
    Instead of initializing and registering a struct device for each acpi_device, just
    initialize and create a driverfs directory for each one. ACPI devices aren't devices,
    and shouldn't be treated as such. They are firmware objects that describe devices.
    They should still have representation in driverfs (and symlinks to the devices they
    describe), but none of the other driver model overhead. 
    
    In order to do this, we also add some ACPI bindings for driverfs. It gets its own top-
    level directory now (though it will soon be under a more generic 'platform' directory).
