Commit 9cd0314(ACPI / ACPICA: Fix global lock acquisition) was backported
into ACPICA code base, and some divergence was introduced.

This patch fixed it,
- rename acpi_ev_global_lock_pending/acpi_ev_global_lock_pending_lock
  to acpi_gbl_global_lock_pending/acpi_gbl_global_lock_pending_lock.

- move the initialization of acpi_gbl_global_lock_pending_lock from
  acpi_ut_mutex_initialize to acpi_ev_init_global_lock_handler.

There are two problems with the ACPICA's current implementation of
the global lock acquisition.  First, acpi_ev_global_lock_handler(),
which in fact is an interface to the outside of the kernel, doesn't
validate its input, so it only works correctly if the other side
(i.e. the ACPI firmware) is fully specification-compliant (as far
as the global lock is concerned).  Unfortunately, that's known not
to be the case on some systems (i.e. we get spurious global lock
signaling interrupts without the pending flag set on some systems).
Second, acpi_ev_global_lock_handler() attempts to acquire the global
lock on behalf of a thread waiting for it without checking if there
actually is such a thread.  Both of these shortcomings need to be
addressed to prevent all possible race conditions from happening.

Rework acpi_ev_global_lock_handler() so that it doesn't try to
acquire the global lock and make it signal the availability of the
global lock to the waiting thread instead.  Make sure that the
availability of the global lock can only be signaled when there
is a thread waiting for it and that it can't be signaled more than
once in a row (to keep acpi_gbl_global_lock_semaphore in balance).

Change definition of acpi_thread_id to always be a u64. This
simplifies the code, especially any printf output. u64 is
the only common data type for all thread_id types across all
operating systems. We now force the OSL to cast the native
thread_id type to u64 before returning the value to ACPICA
(via acpi_os_get_thread_id).

<title>ACPI / ACPICA: Multiple system notify handlers per device</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently it only is possible to install one system notify handler
per namespace node, but this is not enough for PCI run-time power
management, because we need to install power management notifiers for
devices that already have hotplug notifiers installed.  While in
principle this could be handled at the PCI level, that would be
suboptimal due to the way in which the ACPI-based PCI hotplug code is
designed.

For this reason, modify ACPICA so that it is possible to install more
than one system notify handler per namespace node.  Namely, make
acpi_install_notify_handler(), acpi_remove_notify_handler() and
acpi_ev_notify_dispatch() use a list of system notify handler objects
associated with a namespace node.

Make acpi_remove_notify_handler() call acpi_os_wait_events_complete()
upfront to avoid a situation in which concurrent instance of
acpi_remove_notify_handler() removes the handler from under us while
we're waiting for the event queues to flush.
