Subject: [PATCH 10/15] acpi: Export acpi_bus_type

From: Ankitprasad Sharma <ankitprasad.r.sharma@...el.com>

Some modules, like i915.ko, needs to detect when certain ACPI features are
active inorder to prevent corruption on contended resources.
In particular, use of BIOS RapidStart Technology may corrupt the contents of
the reserved graphics memory, due to unalarmed hibernation. In which case
i915.ko cannot assume that it (reserved gfx memory) remains unmodified and
must recreate the contents and importantly not use it to store unrecoverable
user data.
