When we scan all the acpi namespace node in
acpi_scan_init()->acpi_bus_scan(), we evaluate '_STA' method for processor
type node to determine whether the device is present. But processors can
also be declared via ASL Device statement. ACPI 6.3 spec specifically
says that the Processor statement is deprecated and a Device statement
should be used for processors. In that case, acpi_object_type is
ACPI_TYPE_DEVICE rather than ACPI_TYPE_PROCESSOR.
Current code doesn't evaluate '_STA' for nodes with ACPI_TYPE_DEVICE, and
the device status is set to 'present' as default. This patch get the
device status from '_STA' method for processors declared via ASL Device
statement if it does have a '_STA' method.

I am not sure if I should set 'type' as ACPI_BUS_TYPE_PROCESSOR rather
than ACPI_BUS_TYPE_DEVICE for processors declared via ASL Device
statement.
