Subject: [PATCH v3 6/7] ACPI: Add support to force header inclusion rules for <acpi/acpi.h>.

As there is only CONFIG_ACPI=n processing in the <linux/acpi.h>, it is not
safe to include <acpi/acpi.h> directly for source out of Linux ACPI
subsystems.

This patch adds error messaging to warn developers of such wrong
inclusions.

In order not to be bisected and reverted as a wrong commit, warning
messages are carefully split into a seperate patch other than the wrong
inclusion cleanups.
