The problem with this series is that it is out of order.
patches 15-26 are build fixes in response to patch 14.

This will break any bisect that happens to fall between
when the build first broke and when the last fix was fixed.

The correct order is to apply the build fixes first,
and then when patch 14 is applied, nothing breaks.

ps. s/acpi:/ACPI:/, and need more descriptive subjects
for the build fixes...
