[PATCH 0/3] acpi: remove modular references from non modular code

[Paul Gortmaker]

An audit of i386/x86_64 allmodconfig builds found these instances of 
non-modular ACPI code needlessly using the modular equivalents of 
their built-in counterparts.

In fixing that, we get rid of some dead code, make the mandate of
the remaining code more clear, and leave behind better examples
for future ACPI code to copy/emulate.

Two of them are trivial, in that there is no binary output change.
The other has dead code removal so the binary output will be
slightly smaller.   We've done a direct mapping of module_init to
device_initcall in each instance, so there is no initcall
reordering risks here.  Overall, in all cases, the runtime should
be completely unchanged.

Where others have deployed module_param() already, we have to
leave it, because there is no equivalent builtin_param (not yet)
and we have to remain compatible with existing bootarg users.

Paul.
