Some code in drivers/acpi/sleep.c (which is regarded as a generic
file) related to suspend-to-idle support has grown direct dependencies
on x86, but in fact it has been specific to x86 (which is the only
user of it) anyway for a long time.

For this reason, move that code to a separate file under acpi/x86/
and make it build and run as before under the right conditions.

While at it, rename a vendor checking function in that code and
consistently use acpi_handle_debug() for printing debug-related
information in it.

No expected functional impact.

Linux does not have a driver for / does not use the "Intel Baytrail
Mailbox Device" (ACIP HID INT33BD). Add it to the acpi_ignore_dep_ids
list, so that we do not defer probing ACPI devices which depend on
another ACPI device with this HID.

Specifically this makes us not defer the probing of the GPO1 ACPI
device / GPIO controller on the Acer Switch 10E SW3-016. On this
tablet model the  _HID method of the ACPI node for the UART attached
Bluetooth, reads GPIOs to detect the installed wifi chip and updates
the reported _HID for the Bluetooth's ACPI node accordingly.

For the Bluetooth's ACPI node to report the correct _HID the GPO1 device
must be probed and attached during the first scan pass. Adding the
"INT33BD" HID to the acpi_ignore_dep_ids list makes this all work.

<title>ACPI: scan: Defer enumeration of devices with _DEP lists</title>

<id>71da201f38dfb0c3a3d33bbe3168ea9112299dde</id>
<content type='text'>
In some cases ACPI control methods used during device enumeration
(such as _HID or _STA) may rely on Operation Region handlers
supplied by the drivers of other devices [1]:

 An example of this is the Acer Switch 10E SW3-016 model. The _HID
 method of the ACPI node for the UART attached Bluetooth, reads
 GPIOs to detect the installed wifi chip and update the _HID for the
 Bluetooth's ACPI node accordingly. The current ACPI scan code calls
 _HID before the GPIO controller's OpRegions are available, leading
 to the wrong _HID being used and Bluetooth not working.

In principle, in those cases there should be a _DEP control method
under the device object with OpRegion enumeration dependencies, so
deferring the enumeration of devices with _DEP returning a non-empty
list of suppliers of OpRegions depended on by the given device
(modulo some known exceptions that don't really supply any OpRegions
and are listed by _DEP for other reasons irrelevant for Linux) should
at least address the first-order dependencies by allowing the OpRegion
suppliers to be enumerated before their consumers.

Implement the above idea by modifying acpi_bus_scan() to enumerate
devices in the given scope of the ACPI namespace in two passes,
where the first pass covers the devices without "significant" lists
of dependencies coming from _DEP only and the second pass covers
all of the devices that were not enumerated in the first pass.

Take _DEP into account only for device objects with _HID, mostly in
order to avoid deferring the creation of ACPI device objects that
represent PCI devices and must be present during the enumeration
of the PCI bus (which takes place during the processing of the ACPI
device object that represents the host bridge), so that they can
be properly associated with the corresponding PCI devices.

In some cases ACPI control methods used during device enumeration
(such as _HID or _STA) may rely on Operation Region handlers
supplied by the drivers of other devices [1]:

 An example of this is the Acer Switch 10E SW3-016 model. The _HID
 method of the ACPI node for the UART attached Bluetooth, reads
 GPIOs to detect the installed wifi chip and update the _HID for the
 Bluetooth's ACPI node accordingly. The current ACPI scan code calls
 _HID before the GPIO controller's OpRegions are available, leading
 to the wrong _HID being used and Bluetooth not working.

In principle, in those cases there should be a _DEP control method
under the device object with OpRegion enumeration dependencies, so
deferring the enumeration of devices with _DEP returning a non-empty
list of suppliers of OpRegions depended on by the given device
(modulo some known exceptions that don't really supply any OpRegions
and are listed by _DEP for other reasons irrelevant for Linux) should
at least address the first-order dependencies by allowing the OpRegion
suppliers to be enumerated before their consumers.

Implement the above idea by modifying acpi_bus_scan() to enumerate
devices in the given scope of the ACPI namespace in two passes,
where the first pass covers the devices without "significant" lists
of dependencies coming from _DEP only and the second pass covers
all of the devices that were not enumerated in the first pass.

Take _DEP into account only for device objects with _HID, mostly in
order to avoid deferring the creation of ACPI device objects that
represent PCI devices and must be present during the enumeration
of the PCI bus (which takes place during the processing of the ACPI
device object that represents the host bridge), so that they can
be properly associated with the corresponding PCI devices.

Evaluate _DEP before calling acpi_add_single_object() from
acpi_bus_check_add() and do that only for ACPI_BUS_TYPE_DEVICE
objects.

While at it, rename acpi_device_dep_initialize() to
acpi_scan_check_dep(), fix up a memory allocation statement in
that function, consistently treat memory allocation failures in
there as intermittent errors and make some related janitorial
changes in it.

This change will help to avoid calling acpi_add_single_object() if
there are unmet _DEP dependencies in the future, as that may cause
some control methods, potentially depending on the presence of
operation regions supplied by other devices, to be evaluated
prematurely.
