RE: [patch] 2.4.x ACPI updates

[Brown, Len]

Andy/Jeff/Marcelo,

At Jeff's request, I've back ported ACPICA 20030813 from 
http://linux-acpi.bkbits.net/linux-acpi-2.4 into a new tree for 2.4.22:
http://linux-acpi.bkbits.net/linux-acpi-2.4.22

I've restored acpitable.[ch], which was deleted too late for this
release cycle; and will live on until 2.4.23 -- as well as restored
CONFIG_ACPI_HT_ONLY under CONFIG_ACPI; restored the 8-bit characters
that got expanded to 16-bits in a previous merge; and deleted some dmesg
verbiage that Jeff didn't think was appropriate for the baseline kernel.

I exported this a patch and then imported onto a clone of Marcelo's
tree, so it appears as a single cset where the changes that got un-done
never happened.  I've done some sanity tests on it, and will test it
some more tomorrow.  Take a look at it and let me know if I missed
anything.  When Andy is happy with it I'll leave it to him to re-issue a
pull request from Marcelo.

In addition, the "noapic" flag now works properly when full ACPI is
enabled.

Thanks,

Ps. The plain patch on top of Marcelo's current tree is available here:
