[PATCH v4 1/4] ACPI: Add acpi_pr_<level>() interfaces

[Toshi Kani]

This patch introduces acpi_pr_<level>(), where <level> is a kernel
message level such as err/warn/info, to support improved logging
messages for ACPI, esp. in hotplug operations.  acpi_pr_<level>()
appends "ACPI" prefix and ACPI object path to the messages.  This
improves diagnostics in hotplug operations since it identifies an
object that caused an issue in a log file.

acpi_pr_<level>() takes acpi_handle as an argument, which is passed
to ACPI hotplug notify handlers from the ACPICA.  Therefore, it is
always available unlike other kernel objects, such as device.

For example, the statement below
  acpi_pr_err(handle, "Device don't exist, dropping EJECT\n");
logs an error message like this at KERN_ERR.
  ACPI: \_SB_.SCK4.CPU4: Device don't exist, dropping EJECT

ACPI drivers can use acpi_pr_<level>() when they need to identify
a target ACPI object path in their messages, such as error messages.
The usage model is similar to dev_<level>().  acpi_pr_<level>() can
be used when device is not created/valid, which may be the case for
ACPI hotplug handlers.  ACPI object path is also consistent on the
platform.  Device name changes over hotplug operations.

ACPI drivers should use dev_<level>() when device is valid and
acpi_pr_<level>() is already used by the caller in its error path.
Device name provides more user friendly information.

ACPI drivers also continue to use pr_<level>() when messages do not
need to specify device information, such as boot-up messages.

Note: ACPI_[WARNING|INFO|ERROR]() are intended for the ACPICA and
are not associated with the kernel message level.
