ACPI / Sleep: Allow the NVS saving to be skipped during suspend to RAM

Commit 2a6b69765ad794389f2fc3e14a0afa1a995221c2
(ACPI: Store NVS state even when entering suspend to RAM) caused the
ACPI suspend code save the NVS area during suspend and restore it
during resume unconditionally, although it is known that some systems
need to use acpi_sleep=s4_nonvs for hibernation to work. To allow
the affected systems to avoid saving and restoring the NVS area
during suspend to RAM and resume, introduce kernel command line
option acpi_sleep=nonvs and make acpi_sleep=s4_nonvs work as its
alias temporarily (add acpi_sleep=s4_nonvs to the feature removal
file).

ACPI: create "processor.bm_check_disable" boot param

processor.bm_check_disable=1" prevents Linux from checking BM_STS
before entering C3-type cpu power states.

This may be useful for a system running acpi_idle
where the BIOS exports FADT C-states, _CST IO C-states,
or _CST FFH C-states with the BM_STS bit set;
while configuring the chipset to set BM_STS
more frequently than perhaps is optimal.

Note that such systems may have been developed
using a tickful OS that would quickly clear BM_STS,
rather than a tickless OS that may go for some time
between checking and clearing BM_STS.

Note also that an alternative for newer systems
is to use the intel_idle driver, which always
ignores BM_STS, relying Linux device drivers
to register constraints explicitly via PM_QOS.

ACPI: skip checking BM_STS if the BIOS doesn't ask for it

It turns out that there is a bit in the _CST for Intel FFH C3
that tells the OS if we should be checking BM_STS or not.

Linux has been unconditionally checking BM_STS.
If the chip-set is configured to enable BM_STS,
it can retard or completely prevent entry into
deep C-states -- as illustrated by turbostat:

ref: Intel Processor Vendor-Specific ACPI Interface Specification
table 4 "_CST FFH GAS Field Encoding"
Bit 1: Set to 1 if OSPM should use Bus Master avoidance for this C-state

ACPI: processor: fix processor_physically_present on UP

The commit 5d554a7bb06 (ACPI: processor: add internal
processor_physically_present()) is broken on uniprocessor (UP)
configurations, as acpi_get_cpuid() will always return -1.

We use the value of num_possible_cpus() to tell us whether we got
an invalid cpuid from acpi_get_cpuid() in the SMP case, or if
instead, we are UP, in which case num_possible_cpus() is #defined
as 1.

We use num_possible_cpus() instead of num_online_cpus() to
protect ourselves against the scenario of CPU hotplug, and we've
taken down all the CPUs except one.

Thanks to Jan Pogadl for initial report and analysis and Chen
Gong for review.

ACPI battery: don't invoke power_supply_changed twice when battery is hot-added

When battery is hot-added, we should not invoke power_supply_changed
in acpi_battery_notify, because it has been invoked in acpi_battery_update,
and battery->bat.changed_work is queued in keventd already.

ACPI: handle systems which asynchoronously enable ACPI mode

Folklore suggested that such systems existed
in the pre-history of ACPI.

However, we removed the SCI_EN polling loop from
acpi_hw_set_mode() in b430acbd7c4b919886fa7fd92eeb7a695f1940d3
because it delayed resume by 3 seconds on boxes
that refused to set SCI_EN.

Matthew removed the call to acpi_enable() from
the suspend resume path.

James found a modern system that still needs to be polled
upon boot.

So here we restore the workaround, except that we
put it in acpi_enable() rather than the low level
acpi_hw_set_mode().
