Hi, Rafael

The revision 1 is written in the style that it wouldn't introduce regressions as:
<acpi/acpi.h> <acpi/acpi_bus.h> <acpi/acpi_drivers.h> is replaced by <linux/acpi.h>.  If there are 2 or more linux/acpi.h inclusions in the same files, then the latter ones are deleted.
And it gets building/booting tested by enabling the affected modules for testing on x86 and x86_64.
The checker enabled tests only showed line number differences.
For special IA64 only modules, they are tested using "make <dirname of file>/<basename of file>.o" with necessary -D passed through command line.

I the revision 2, there are <asm/xxx.h> order changes, it thus may introduce regressions if there are tricks we don't know better than the original authors.
My build tests still showed no issues, but we could feed them a coverage test.
Rafael, hope you can help me do this in your bleeding-edge branch and feel free to modify the commit to fix the issues caused by such tricks.

Thanks and best regards
