Following the previous discussion, the patches below move some ACPI resources
parsing code from drivers/pnp/pnpacpi/rsparser.c to a new file
drivers/acpi/resource.c and reformat it so that it can be used by other
subsystems (patch [1/3]), convert the new ACPI platform devices creation
code to use the routines in drivers/acpi/resource.c instead of doing its
own resource parsing (patch [2/3]) and make the ACPI namespace scan attach
a list of _CRS resources to each struct acpi_device it creates, where
applicable (patch [3/3] - the ACPI platform device code is converted to use
that instead of executing _CRS by itself via acpi_walk_resources()).

The patchset is on top of the current linux-pm.git/linux-next branch and
has been tested somewhat. Please let me know if you find any problems in it.

Thanks,
Rafael
