You're right that I have two "#ifdef CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS" in debug.c,
and I could get away with only one if I used
    #if defined(CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG) && defined(CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS)
in internal.h.  I actually did that in my first version of the patch.

However, I thought it was a bit ugly to put the CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS
stuff in internal.h.  That would mean a reader of internal.h has
to know about the details of how debug.c is implemented.  It is
completely non-obvious why a definition of acpi_debug_init() should
depend on CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS, so the reader would have to go dig
through debug.c to figure it out.  With my patch, the reader only
has to know "CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG enables the build of debug.c."

If I understand you correctly, you're raising a style issue, and
there's no functional problem either way.  Right?
