ACPI: support acpi_device_ops .notify methods
This patch adds support for ACPI device driver .notify() methods. If
such a method is present, Linux/ACPI installs a handler for device
notifications (but not for system notifications such as Bus Check,
Device Check, etc). When a device notification occurs, Linux/ACPI
passes it on to the driver's .notify() method.
In most cases, this removes the need for drivers to install their own
handlers for device-specific notifications.
For fixed hardware devices like some power and sleep buttons, there's
no notification value because there's no control method to execute a
Notify opcode. When a fixed hardware device generates an event, we
handle it the same as a regular device notification, except we send
a ACPI_FIXED_HARDWARE_EVENT value. This is outside the normal 0x0-0xff
range used by Notify opcodes.
Several drivers install their own handlers for system Bus Check and
Device Check notifications so they can support hot-plug. This patch
doesn't affect that usage.
