what is ACPICA and why should we care about divergence between it and the linux upstream? Where is it to be found?

This may be common knowlege to many people, but it should probably be documented in the patch bundle and it's explination.

Subject: [PATCH 00/42] ACPICA: 20151218 Release

The 20151218 ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem updates are linuxized based
on the linux-pm/linux-next branch.

The patchset has passed the following build/boot tests.
Build tests are performed as follows:
1. i386 + allyes
2. i386 + allno
3. i386 + default + ACPI_DEBUGGER=y
4. i386 + default + ACPI_DEBUGGER=n + ACPI_DEBUG=y
5. i386 + default + ACPI_DEBUG=n + ACPI=y
6. i386 + default + ACPI=n
7. x86_64 + allyes
8. x86_64 + allno
9. x86_64 + default + ACPI_DEBUGGER=y
10.x86_64 + default + ACPI_DEBUGGER=n + ACPI_DEBUG=y
11.x86_64 + default + ACPI_DEBUG=n + ACPI=y
12.x86_64 + default + ACPI=n
Boot tests are performed as follows:
1. i386 + default + ACPI_DEBUGGER=y
2. x86_64 + default + ACPI_DEBUGGER=y
Where:
1. i386: machine named as "Dell Inspiron Mini 1010"
2. x86_64: machine named as "HP Compaq 8200 Elite SFF PC"
3. default: kernel configuration with following items enabled:
All hardware drivers related to the machines of i386/x86_64
All "drivers/acpi" configurations
All "drivers/platform" drivers
All other drivers that link the APIs provided by ACPICA subsystem

The divergences checking result:
