Following is the series with the Greg's feedback taken into account.
Patch [1/3] is the same as before with the bug found by Mika fixed, [2/3] is
an additional patch adding struct acpi_dev_node to compile out unused stuff if
CONFIG_ACPI is not set and [3/3] is the previous [2/2] rebased on top of it.

Thanks,
Rafael
