This eliminates the need for the board files that were the subject of my
"How not to write x86 platform drivers" talk at ELC-E last year. With
These ACPI core changes and the small changes to the two example drivers,
the Minnowboard can now use the GPIO buttons and LEDs through these
drivers by adding the ASL fragment below to the DSDT.
