For ACPI PIC (PNP0000) and Timer (PNP0100) device objects, although
they have _HID control method, but they should not be enumerated to
platform bus, because there will never be any platform drivers for them.

Thus an exclude id list is introduced in this patch to prevent
those platform device nodes from being created.

This should go into [6/12] as well.

I think it is okay to keep them as separate patches because they do not
break bisect. And this patch is just a cleanup, it does not fix a real
BUG in patch 6/12.

OK
