Subject: [65/98] ACPI: introduce kernel parameter acpi_sleep=sci_force_enable

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@...el.com>

commit d7f0eea9e431e1b8b0742a74db1a9490730b2a25 upstream.

Introduce kernel parameter acpi_sleep=sci_force_enable

some laptop requires SCI_EN being set directly on resume,
or else they hung somewhere in the resume code path.

We already have a blacklist for these laptops but we still need
this option, especially when debugging some suspend/resume problems,
in case there are systems that need this workaround and are not yet
in the blacklist.
