Subject: Add support for acpi_load_table/acpi_unload_table_id
From: John Keller <jpk@xxxxxxx>
Make acpi_load_table() available for use by removing it from the #ifdef
ACPI_FUTURE_USAGE.
Also add a new routine used to unload an ACPI table of a given type and "id" -
acpi_unload_table_id(). The implementation of this new routine was almost a
direct copy of existing routine acpi_unload_table() - only difference being
that it only removes a specific table id instead of ALL tables of a given
type. The SN hotplug driver (sgi_hotplug.c) now uses both of these interfaces
to dynamically load and unload SSDT ACPI tables.
Also, a few other ACPI routines now used by the SN hotplug driver are exported
(since the driver can be a loadable module):
acpi_ns_map_handle_to_node
acpi_ns_convert_entry_to_handle
acpi_ns_get_next_node
