Subject: [PATCH 0/5] ACPI-based enumeration of devices that are not discoverable natively

Hi All,

The following patch series adds support for ACPI-based enumeration of devices
that aren't discoverable natively to the driver core and ACPI subsystem.  It
covers the generic part and the platform bus type support.

Since in this case the role of ACPI is analogous to the role of Device Trees,
the idea is to follow what Device Trees did previously.

[1/5] Move ACPI handle to struct device and add device IDs table to
      struct device_driver.

[2/5] Generic functions for matching ACPI device nodes.

[3/5] Export GSI registration/unregistration functions on x86 (needed by [5/5]).

[4/5] Export GSI registration/unregistration functions on ia64 (needed by [5/5]).

[5/5] ACPI-based device enumeration support for platform devices.

The patches are on top of the linux-next branch of the linux-pm.git tree
with the "ACPI / PM: ACPI power management callback routines for subsystems"
patch series applied (although that series is not strictly necessary for them
to work).  They have been tested by Mika.

Thanks,
Rafael
