[RFC PATCH 2/5] ACPI: Support system notify handler via .sys_notify

[Toshi Kani]

Added a new .sys_notify interface, which allows ACPI drivers to
register their system-level (ex. hotplug) notify handlers in their
acpi_driver table.  The global notify handler acpi_bus_notify()
is called for all system-level ACPI notification, which is changed
to call an appropriate driver's handler if any.  With .sys_notify,
ACPI drivers no longer need to register or unregister driver's
handler to each ACPI device object.  It also supports dynamic ACPI
namespace with LoadTable & Unload opcode without any modification.

Added a common system notify handler acpi_bus_sys_notify(), which
allows ACPI drivers to set it to .sys_notify when this function is
fully implemented.

Note that the changes maintain the backward compatibility of ACPI
drivers.  Any ACPI driver registered its hotplug handler through
the existing interfaces, such as acpi_install_notify_handler() and
register_acpi_bus_notifier(), will continue to work as before.
