This changes can reduce source code differences between Linux and ACPICA
upstream to help improving the release automation.
The side effect of applying this patch in Linux is:
1. Some ACPICA initialization/termination APIs are no longer exported in
Linux, these include:
acpi_load_tables
acpi_initialize_subsystem
acpi_enable_subsystem
acpi_initialize_objects
acpi_terminate
2. This patch does not affect the following APIs as they are currently not
marked with ACPI_EXPORT_SYMBOL in Linux:
acpi_reallocate_root_table
acpi_initialize_tables
Such functions should not be exported as they are internal to ACPI
subsystem in Linux, and will only be invoked inside of ACPI subsystem's
initialization routines marked with __init and termination routines marked
with __exit. While on other OSPMs, such functions may still need to be
exported.
Thus this patch adds the configurability for ACPICA, so that it leaves
OSPMs to determine if the __init/__exit marked functions should be exported
or not. Lv Zheng.
