commit 67bfa9b60bd689601554526d144b21d529f78a09 upstream.

By enlarging the GPE storm threshold back to 20, that laptop's
EC works fine with interrupt mode instead of polling mode.

commit a520d52e99b14ba7db135e916348f12f2a6e09be upstream.

The Linux EC driver includes a mechanism to detect GPE storms,
and switch from interrupt-mode to polling mode.  However, polling
mode sometimes doesn't work, so the workaround is problematic.
Also, different systems seem to need the threshold for detecting
the GPE storm at different levels.

ACPI_EC_STORM_THRESHOLD was initially 20 when it's created, and
was changed to 8 in 2.6.28 commit 06cf7d3c7 "ACPI: EC: lower interrupt storm
threshold" to fix kernel bug 11892 by forcing the laptop in that bug to
work in polling mode. However in bug 45151, it works fine in interrupt
mode if we lift the threshold back to 20.

This patch makes the threshold a module parameter so that user has a
flexible option to debug/workaround this issue.

The default is unchanged.

This is also a preparation patch to fix specific systems:

Pull ACPI & Power Management changes from Len Brown:
 - ACPI 5.0 after-ripples, ACPICA/Linux divergence cleanup
 - cpuidle evolving, more ARM use
 - thermal sub-system evolving, ditto
 - assorted other PM bits

Fix up conflicts in various cpuidle implementations due to ARM cpuidle
cleanups (ARM at91 self-refresh and cpu idle code rewritten into
"standby" in asm conflicting with the consolidation of cpuidle time
keeping), trivial SH include file context conflict and RCU tracing fixes
in generic code.

toshiba_acpi needs to execute an AML method within the EC namespace
to make hotkeys work on some platforms. Provide an interface to
allow it to easily get a handle to the EC namespace for this purpose.

Commit 0adf3c746a73684b3f8c2821a584e1db998f61e9 introduced a regression
by making the ECDT validation test for ASUS hardware more restrictive.
The previous test used the dmi_name_in_vendors function which searches
a number of DMI fields, while the new test checked only the BIOS
vendor, which is known to not match on an ASUS F5GL laptop which
requires ECDT validation.

Add a rule to ec_dmi_table based on an alternative DMI pattern for
ASUS hardware as found elsewhere in the kernel.
