Subject: [PATCH]  do not select ACPI_VIDEO in poulsbo stub driver


the poulsbo stub driver should not select ACPI video driver.

The reason why i915 driver selects ACPI video driver is that it needs some
cooperation between these two drivers during initialization, or else the
system may hang.

So if users want ACPI backlight control, please set CONFIG_ACPI_VIDEO manually.
