This cleans the code up a bit, but mainly allows most functions
to be called externally when need (read: video driver) arises.

CONFIG_ACPI_BLACKLIST_YEAR=2001 for old behaviour

new cmdline options: "acpi_dbg_layer=",  "acpi_dbg_level="
and /proc/acpi/debug_layer, debug_level now describe levels

This will enable drivers to work around BIOS deficiencies,
while still allowing the drivers to be more picky with "acpi=strict"

These workarounds are disabled if "acpi=strict"

Designed and implemented support within the AML interpreter
for the so-called implicit return.  This support returns
the result of the last ASL operation within a control
method, in the absence of an explicit Return() operator.
A few machines depend on this behavior, even though it
is not explicitly supported by the ASL language.  It is
optional support that can be enabled at runtime via the
acpi_gbl_enable_interpreter_slack flag.

Removed support for the PCI_Config address space from the
internal low level hardware interfaces (acpi_hw_low_level_read
and acpi_hw_low_level_write).  This support was not used
internally, and would not work correctly anyway because
the PCI bus number and segment number were not supported.
There are separate interfaces for PCI configuration space
access because of the unique interface.

Update lasi 82596 driver:
 - Fix boot messages (Helge Deller)
 - Whitespace and __FILE__ usage (Joel Soete)
 - 64-bit compile warning fixes (James Bottomley)

This trivial fix allows mounting MO-drives readwrite.

Acked by Jens.

The newly introduced ->fcntl file_operation is badly thought out,
not to mention undocumented.  This patch replaces it with two better
defined operations -- check_flags and dir_notify.  Any other fcntl()s
that filesystems are interested in can have their own properly typed
f_op method when they need it.
