Subject: [PATCH v1 0/4] ACPI: New helper for warning messages and replacing ACPI_EXCEPTION()

Hi All,

The purpose of this series is to get rid of the remaining (questionable)
usage of ACPI_EXCEPTION() outside ACPICA.

The first patch is a tiny cleanup of the ACPI processor driver, but it is
depended on by the second one which in turn is depended on by the last two.

The second patch introduces a new helper function for logging messages
regarding ACPI object evaluation failures and makes some code under
drivers/acpi/ use it.

The other two patches use the new helper to get rid of ACPI_EXCEPTION()
and the related definitions from the acpi-als and acpi_power_meter drivers.

Please see the patch changelogs for details.

Thanks!
