nit: A few. Without the article this has a different meaning.

More out of idle curiosity than anything else, but what, may I ask, is
copyrightable about 2 empty files?
Triply so given there are !3! contributors to said empty file!

How come this file gets a comment and the other doesn't?
Also the comment doesn't really make much sense to me in a vacuum, and
ideally would read like:
"This header is required unconditionally by the ACPI core"
That is, if a comment is really even needed.
