RE: [1/2] ACPI: make _OSI strings static

Yeah, looking at the code, it looks too busy with ACPI_NUM_OSI_STRINGS
and the additional level of indirection.

My only suggestion would be that ARRAY_SIZE should really be
ARRAY_LENGTH to differentiate it better from the behavior of the
sizeof() operator.
