    Subject[PATCH v3 0/6] ACPI: Cleanup header inclusions.
    Date
    This patchset includes 2 patches already merged in linux-pm/linux-next
    branch. It is included as the following mailing list thread contains two
    patchsets of the ACPICA header cleanups.
    1. Cleanup header inclusions.
    http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-acpi/msg47510.html
    2. Cleanup direct ACPICA inclusions.
    http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-acpi/msg47703.html
    It is vague for the thread monitors.
    This patchset collects all patches in this thread together to form a single
    v3 patchset.

    ACPICA header files are lacking in stub protections. This makes all ACPICA
    header files could only be included for CONFIG_ACPI=y environment. This
    infects new ACPI prototypes, if such prototypes referenced ACPICA defined
    types, they must be incldued only in the CONFIG_ACPI=y environment. The
    <acpi/acpi_bus.h> and <acpi/acpi_drivers.h> are the monstrosity infants
    born under this background, directly including them in the CONFIG_ACPI=n
    environment is not safe. The infection spreads to whole kernel source tree
    that we can see "#ifdef CONFIG_ACPI" here and there.

    This patchset tries to enforces <linux/acpi.h> inclusions instead of
    <acpi/acpi.h>, <acpi/acpi_bus.h> and <acpi/acpi_drivers.h> inclusions.

    For <acpi/acpi_bus.h> and <acpi/acpi_drivers.h> inclusion cleanups, as all
    users are CONFIG_ACPI dependent, we don't have any issues raised.

    For <acpi/acpi.h> inclusion cleanups, we have following 4 cases specially
    handled:
    1. "ACPI IGD OpRegion" support in i915 DRM driver. It can be modified to
    be CONFIG_ACPI dependent.
    2. "_CRS based MCFG checker" support, original configurability of this
    piece of code relies on link stage optimization. This patchset
    corrects it by making the configurability to be dependent on compile
    stage references.
    3. "iSCSI IBFT finder" support. IBFT can only appear on ACPI platforms
    while IBFT locating mechanism doesn't rely on ACPI table constructions.
    It is currently not dependent on CONFIG_ACPI. IMO, this behavior is
    This patchset corrects it by making it dependent on CONFIG_ACPI. This
    patch need to be discussed, thus marked as RFC.
    4. "SFI/ACPI wrapper" support. This error is not fixed in this patchset.
    Its solution is still under discussion. It need to be synchronized
    with SFI users.

    During the fixes, <linux/acpi_io.h> is also detected as an ACPICA dependent
    header, it thus be converted into <acpi/acpi_io.h> and included from
    <linux/acpi.h> for CONFIG_ACPI builds.

    NOTE that the first 2 commits in this series are already in the
    linux-pm/linux-next branch.
    1. Commit: 91be0998578a1001db1382012676ee0a69d5cee3
    Subject: [PATCH] ACPI: Clean up incorrect inclusions of ACPICA headers
    2. Commit: 4e8fb7987f7d0390a2e74622c7c1cbb6760c6516
    Subject: [PATCH] ACPI: Clean up inclusions of ACPI header files
    The reset 4 commits are rebased on top of this branch thus can be applied
    to the branch directly.

    Lv Zheng (6):
    ACPI: Clean up incorrect inclusions of ACPICA headers
    ACPI: Clean up inclusions of ACPI header files
    SFI: Fix warnings reported by W=1 builds.
    ACPI/i915: Fix wrong <acpi/acpi.h> inclusion in i915 opregion module.
    ACPI/SFI: Fix wrong <acpi/acpi.h> inclusion in SFI/ACPI wrapper -
    acpi_disabled linkage.
    ACPI/IBFT: Fix wrong <acpi/acpi.h> inclusion in iSCSI boot firmware
    module.

    NOTE that this cover-letter is manually editted, so file summary is
    useless and thus gets deleted.
