I understand you want code to compile, but as I mentioned in another
thread, I would focus more on understanding if these macros/hooks are
really needed for ARM rather than defining them _just_ to make code
compile. The fact that you are forced to define them makes me think
there is something to be changed in ACPI core code instead of adding
empty and probably useless macros/hooks for ARM which I have no idea
whatsoever whether will ever be needed or not.
