Zhang Rui c637e4861c ACPI: introduce module parameter acpi.aml_debug_output
Introduce module parameter acpi.aml_debug_output.

With acpi.aml_debug_output set, we can get AML debug object output
(Store (AAA, Debug)), even with CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG cleared.

Together with the runtime custom method mechanism,
we can debug AML code problems without rebuilding the kernel.

Zhang Rui a1a541d86f ACPI: support customizing ACPI control methods at runtime
Introduce a new debugfs I/F (/sys/kernel/debug/acpi/custom_method) for ACPI,
which can be used to customize the ACPI control methods at runtime.

We can use this to debug the AML code level bugs instead of overriding the
whole DSDT table, without rebuilding/rebooting kernel any more.

Detailed description about how to use this debugfs I/F is stated in
Documentation/acpi/method-customizing.txt
