I think Dave's main concern was that I'd added an AMD copyright banner
to a new file that was mostly derived from acpi.c. I thought we had some
agreement on simply adopting the file-wide copyright banner of whatever
source file the new one was derived from, since dropping an existing
copyright seemed similarly in bad taste, but if it's sufficient to lean
on git for getting a more accurate picture of copyright sources then
that sounds good to me and I'll adopt that for the next spin if there
are no objections.

(In the case of acpi.c it happened to not have a file-wide copyright banner
so things were a little more straightforward for the acpi.c->efi.c movement)
