And what makes acpi_oemlist "common" and acpi_blacklist "specific"?

So let me save you some time - "oemlist" is more specific than
"blacklist" and I can imagine a blacklist item not always being
oem-specific.

What I'm hinting at is, don't change that name. acpi_blacklist is just
fine.

	enum acpi_predicate pred;
