Subject: [PATCH 0/4] ACPI: Reorganize the core device management/enumeration code

Hi,

The size and complexity of drivers/acpi/scan.c has bothered me for quite
a while and since I'm working on a feature that will benefit from exposing
some additional information under ACPI device objects in sysfs, I've decided
to reorganize the code to move some things out of scan.c.

[1/4] Move all ACPI device code related to sysfs into a separate (new) file.
[2/4] Move device matching code to bus.c.
[3/4] Mode device notification, bus operations and driver management code to bus.c.
[4/4] Register the ACPI bus type in acpi_bus_init().

No functional changes except for the [4/4] that will case ACPI to be disabled if
the ACPI bus type cannot be registered.

Thanks!
