BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/463940

This patch combines several upstream commits:

	78f1699659963fff97975df44db6d5dbe7218e55
	ACPI: processor: call _PDC early

	7a0b73a49ab56fb1e836675c00d6d0d2ba39a714
	ACPI: Fix section mismatch error for acpi_early_processor_set_pdc()

	2205cbe8ecaf5f3ab911cef839c94d05ea5b0c76
	ACPI: processor: restrict early _PDC to opt-in platforms

I combined the patches because upstream has a lot cleanup patches in
that space too, and these three are the minimal commits that need
backporting in order to:

	1) Enable platforms that are known to require early _PDC evaluation
	2) Prevent a stupid section mismatch error
	3) Make early _PDC an opt-in feature to avoid tripping over
	   platforms with bogus BIOS

Upstream changelogs follow.

ACPI: processor: call _PDC early

	We discovered that at least one machine (HP Envy),
	methods in the DSDT attempt to call external methods
	defined in a dynamically loaded SSDT.

	Unfortunately, the DSDT methods we are trying to call
	are part of the EC initialization, which happens very
	early, and the the dynamic SSDT is only loaded when a
	processor _PDC method runs much later.

	This results in namespace lookup errors for the (as of
	yet) undefined methods.

	Since Windows doesn't have any issues with this machine,
	we take it as a hint that they must be evaluating _PDC
	much earlier than we are.

	Thus, the proper thing for Linux to do should be to
	match the Windows implementation more closely.

	Provide a mechanism to call _PDC before we enable the
	EC. Doing so loads the dynamic tables, and allows the EC
	to be enabled correctly.

	The ACPI processor driver will still evaluate _PDC in
	its .add() method to cover the hotplug case.

	Resolves: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14824

ACPI: processor: restrict early _PDC to opt-in platforms

	This change may cause issues on platforms that declare
	dummy values for SSDTs on non-present processors
	(disabled in MADT).  When we call _PDC and dynamically
	attempt to execute the AML Load() op on these dummy
	SSDTs, there's no telling what might happen.

	Rather than finding every platform that has bogus SSDTs,
	restrict early _PDC calls to platforms that are known to
	need early evaluation of _PDC.

	This is a minimal, temporary fix (given the context of
	the current release cycle). A real solution of checking
	the MADT for non-present processors will be written for
	the next merge window.
