[PATCH 4/7] ia64: ACPI: create arch-dependent version of acpi_osi_handler()

From: Al Stone <ahs3 at redhat.com>

In order to deprecate the use of _OSI for arm64 or other new architectures,
we need to make the default handler something we can change for various
platforms.  This patch moves the definition of acpi_osi_handler() -- the
function used by ACPICA as a callback for evaluating _OSI -- into arch-
dependent ACPI files.  The declaration of acpi_os_handler() was moved in
a previous patch.

No functional change for ia64.

+ * The story of _OSI(Linux)
+ *
+ * From pre-history through Linux-2.6.22,
+ * Linux responded TRUE upon a BIOS OSI(Linux) query.
+ *
+ * Unfortunately, reference BIOS writers got wind of this
+ * and put OSI(Linux) in their example code, quickly exposing
+ * this string as ill-conceived and opening the door to
+ * an un-bounded number of BIOS incompatibilities.
+ *
+ * For example, OSI(Linux) was used on resume to re-POST a
+ * video card on one system, because Linux at that time
+ * could not do a speedy restore in its native driver.
+ * But then upon gaining quick native restore capability,
+ * Linux has no way to tell the BIOS to skip the time-consuming
+ * POST -- putting Linux at a permanent performance disadvantage.
+ * On another system, the BIOS writer used OSI(Linux)
+ * to infer native OS support for IPMI!  On other systems,
+ * OSI(Linux) simply got in the way of Linux claiming to
+ * be compatible with other operating systems, exposing
+ * BIOS issues such as skipped device initialization.
+ *
+ * So "Linux" turned out to be a really poor chose of
+ * OSI string, and from Linux-2.6.23 onward we respond FALSE.
+ *
+ * BIOS writers should NOT query _OSI(Linux) on future systems.
+ * Linux will complain on the console when it sees it, and return FALSE.
+ * To get Linux to return TRUE for your system  will require
+ * a kernel source update to add a DMI entry,
+ * or boot with "acpi_osi=Linux"
