There are cases where full date information is required instead of
just the year.  Add month and day parsing to dmi_get_year() and rename
it to dmi_get_date().

As the original function only required '/' followed by any number of
parseable characters at the end of the string, keep that behavior to
avoid upsetting existing users.

The new function takes dates of format [mm[/dd]]/yy[yy].  Year, month
and date are checked to be in the ranges of [1-9999], [1-12] and
[1-31] respectively and any invalid or out-of-range component is
returned as zero.

The dummy implementation is updated accordingly but the return value
is updated to indicate field not found which is consistent with how
other dummy functions behave.

Linux/ACPI core files using internal.h all PREFIX "ACPI: ",
however, not all ACPI drivers use/want it -- and they
should not have to #undef PREFIX to define their own.

Add GPL commment to internal.h while we are there.

This does not change any actual console output,
asside from a whitespace fix.

Linux claims Vista compatibility to the BIOS for a number of
reasons, but this brings hard lockup on some Sony laptops.

Disable Vista compatibility via DMI for these laptops unless
we can figure out what Vista is doing for this platform.

Linux will continue to ignore OSI(Linux),
except for a white-list containing a few systems.

So delete the black-list,
and stop soliciting user-feedback on the console.
