[RFC][PATCH 0/7] Fix the ACPI 1.0 vs ACPI 2.0 suspend ordering issue (rev. 2)

Hi,

The following patchset is intended to fix the ACPI 1.0 vs ACPI 2.0 suspend
ordering issue described at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9528 and
in a recent LKML thread (http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/12/25/37).

The patches actually do more than that, as I think it's reasonable to untangle
some ACPI-specific suspend code by the way.  The details are described in the
changelogs.

The patches apply on top of the suspend branch of the ACPI tree
(git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lenb/linux-acpi-2.6 suspend).

The previous (slightly different) iteration was tested on several systems and
it was confirmed that it fixed the issues at hand.

Please review.

Thanks,
Rafael
