ACPI: use PNPID:instance_no as bus_id of ACPI device
Previously we used the device name in the DSDT, but would crash upon encountering a duplicate. Also, exposing the DSDT device name to the user in a patch isn't a good idea, because it is arbitrary. After some discussion, we finally decided to use "PNPID:instance_no" as the bus_id of ACPI devices. Two attributes for each device are added at the same time, the full pathname in ACPI namespace and hardware_id if it has. NOTE: acpi_bus_id_list is used to keep the information of PNPID and instance number of the given PNPID. Loop the acpi_bus_id_list to find the instance_no of the same PNPID when register a device. If failed, i.e. we don't have a node with this PNPID, allocate one and link it to this list. NOTE: Now I don't take the memory free work in charge. If necessary, I can add a reference count in struct acpi_device_bus_id, and check the reference and when unregister a device, i.e. memory is freed when the reference count of a given PNPID is 0.
