a192a9580b ACPI: Move definition of PREFIX from acpi_bus.h to internal..h
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.

f3d83e2415 wmi: fix kernel panic when stack protection enabled.
Summary:
Kernel panic arise when stack protection is enabled, since strncat will
add a null terminating byte '\0'; So in functions
like this one (wmi_query_block):
        char wc[4]="WC";
	....
	strncat(method, block->object_id, 2);
        ...
the length of wc should be n+1 (wc[5]) or stack protection
fault will arise. This is not noticeable when stack protection is
disabled,but , isn't good either.
Config used: [CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_ALL=y,
	      CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y]

Panic Trace

f61bb93927 ACPI: WMI: use .notify method instead of installing handler directly
This patch adds a .notify() method.  The presence of .notify() causes
Linux/ACPI to manage event handlers and notify handlers on our behalf,
so we don't have to install and remove them ourselves.

da511997d2 acpi-wmi: unsigned cannot be less than 0
include/linux/pci-acpi.h:74:

typedef u32                 acpi_status;

result is unsigned, so an error returned by acpi_bus_register_driver()
will not be noticed.

b4f9fe1215 ACPI: move wmi, asus_acpi, toshiba_acpi to drivers/platform/x86
These are platform specific drivers that happen to use ACPI,
while drivers/acpi/ is for code that implements ACPI itself.
