_GTS and _BFS were added to the suspend/resume flow
in the ACPI 2.0 specification.
Linux dutifully implemented _GTS and _BFS.
We discovered that it was rarely seen in systems
in the field. Further, some of those systems had
AML so bogus that it could never work -- proof that
no other operating system supports _GTS and _BFS.
So we made _GTS and _BFS optional via modparam,
and disabled them by default.
But we've had to complicate some code to keep
this support in the kernel, as these methods are defined
to be evaluated very close to sleep entry and exit.
Indeed, no other AML is ever evaluated with interrupts off.
We have submitted a proposal for _GTS and _BFS
to be officially removed from the ACPI specification
on the next revision. Here we remove it from Linux.

Fixes issues like this:
i_aSL -> iASL
00-7_f -> 00-7F
local_fADT -> local_FADT
execute_oSI -> execute_OSI
Also, in function headers, the parameters are now translated to
lower case (with underscores if necessary.)

acpi_write was widened to 64-bit data, this change eliminates some

Enhanced the sleep/wake interfaces to optionally execute the
_GTS method (Going To Sleep), and the _BFS method (Back From
Sleep). Windows apparently does not execute these methods, and
therefore these methods are often untested. It has been seen on
some systems where the execution of these methods causes errors
and also prevents the machine from entering S5. It is therefore
suggested that host operating systems do not execute these methods
by default. In the future, perhaps these methods can be optionally
executed based on the age of the system and/or what is the newest
version of Windows that the BIOS asks for via _OSI.

Changed the METHOD_NAME* defines that define a full pathname to
the method to METHOD_PATHNAME* in order to make it clear that
it is not a simple 4-character ACPI name. Used for the various
sleep/wake methods.
