I think we need to revert commit ab0fd67.

commit ab0fd674d6cef0904baa511f22613ef6474f8169
Author: Lan Tianyu <tianyu.lan@...el.com>
Date:   Sat Oct 12 21:04:48 2013 +0800

    ACPI / AC: Remove AC's proc directory.

    AC's proc directory is not used and so remove it. Prepare for removing
    /proc/acpi directory.
