Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] ACPI / EC: Add PM operations to tune polling mode efficiency

It is reported that on some platforms, resume speed is not fast. The cause
is: in noirq stage, EC driver is working in polling mode, and each state
machine advancement requires a context switch.

The context switch is not necessary to the EC driver's polling mode. This
patch implements PM hooks to automatically switch the driver to/from the
busy polling mode to eliminate the overhead caused by the context switch.

This finally contributes to the tuning result: acpi_pm_finish() execution
time is improved from 192ms to 6ms.
