Lv Zheng 07cf6ce595 ACPICA: EFI: Add EFI interface definitions to eliminate dependency of GNU EFI
ACPICA commit 5d00e67a74542d030f0a55e7a947a020ef0d9693

This patch copies EFI interface definitions to the ACPICA code base so that
the EFI utility support can be ported to other EFI implementation.

Known issues:
1. MS Builds of uefi_call_wrapper()
   The uefi_call_wrapper() in GNU EFI is implemented in a the way to work
   around the ABI difference between Unix and MS. While I don't have
   environment to test the MS builds.

In order to port the ACPICA utilities to other EFI implementation, all that
need to be done is to impelement the 64-bit division support and the
program entry point where the efi_main() is invoked. Code to impelement
these is platform specific, and ACPICA currently choose to hide such
platform specific code within the specific EFI impelementation. Lv Zheng.

This patch doesn't affect Linux kernel.

Lv Zheng d13bd5a602 ACPICA: Linux headers: Add <acpi/platform/aclinuxex.h>
From ACPICA's perspective, <acpi/actypes.h> should be included after
inclusion of <acpi/platform/acenv.h>.  But currently in Linux,
<acpi/platform/aclinux.h> included by <acpi/platform/acenv.h> has
included <acpi/actypes.h> to find ACPICA types for inline functions.

This causes the following problem:
1. Redundant code in <asm/acpi.h> and <acpi/platform/aclinux.h>:
   Linux must be careful to keep conditions for <acpi/actypes.h> inclusion
   consistent with the conditions for <acpi/platform/aclinux.h> inclusion.
   Which finally leads to the issue that we have to keep many useless macro
   definitions in <acpi/platform/aclinux.h> or <asm/acpi.h>.
   Such conditions include:
     COMPILER_DEPENDENT_UINT64
     COMPILER_DEPENDENT_INT64
     ACPI_INLINE
     ACPI_SYSTEM_XFACE
     ACPI_EXTERNAL_XFACE
     ACPI_INTERNAL_XFACE
     ACPI_INTERNAL_VAR_XFACE
     ACPI_MUTEX_TYPE
     DEBUGGER_THREADING
     ACPI_ACQUIRE_GLOBAL_LOCK
     ACPI_RELEASE_GLOBAL_LOCK
     ACPI_FLUSH_CPU_CACHE
   They have default implementations in <include/acpi/platform/acenv.h>
   while Linux need to keep a copy in <asm/acpi.h> to avoid build errors.

This patch introduces <acpi/platform/aclinuxex.h> to fix this issue by
splitting conditions and declarations (most of them are inline functions)
into 2 header files so that the wrong inclusion of <acpi/actypes.h> can be
removed from <acpi/platform/aclinux.h>.

This patch also removes old ACPI_NATIVE_INTERFACE_HEADER mechanism which is
not preferred by Linux and adds the platform/acenvex.h to be the solution
to solve this issue.
