>     ACPICA: ACPI 5: Support for new FADT SleepStatus, SleepControl registers

Parsing that commit:

 * new ACPICA-internal functions:
   acpi_hw_execute_SST, acpi_hw_extended_sleep, acpi_hw_legacy_sleep,
   acpi_hw_extended_wake_prep, acpi_hw_extended_wake,
   acpi_hw_legacy_wake_prep, acpi_hw_legacy_wake.

 * Various functions moved to hwxfsleep.c.

 * acpi_enter_sleep_state_s4bios was moved to before
   acpi_enter_sleep_state and acpi_enter_sleep_state_prep for no
   apparent reason.  Unchanged.

 * acpi_enter_sleep_state_prep: factored out execution of _SST
   (which sets System Status) into a helper.  No functional change.

 * acpi_enter_sleep_state: in the !(ACPI 5) case, just checks that
   the sleep types are not out of bounds and calls
   acpi_hw_legacy_sleep().  Functional change:

   - disable bus master arbitration when entering sleep states other
     than S5

   No other functional change.  _GTS ("Going To Sleep" hook) call
   factored out into a helper.

 * acpi_leave_sleep_state_prep: in the !(ACPI 5) case, just calls
   acpi_hw_legacy_wake_prep().  _BFS ("Back From Sleep" method) call
   factored out into a helper.  No functional change.

 * acpi_leave_sleep_state: in the !(ACPI 5) case, just calls
   acpi_hw_legacy_wake().  _SST calls factored out.  _WAK call
   factored out.  Functional change:

   - enable bus master arbitaration

   No other functional change.

So presumably it's the new writes to the ACPI_BITREG_ARB_DISABLE
register that cause trouble.  The patch below tests that guess.

Now for a complaint.  This would have been a lot easier if cleanups
that do not change behavior were split into separate commits --- one
commit per change.  That makes it easy to verify that each patch
correctly does what it promises with no unintended side effects.

Though I understand that hacking ACPICA is hard, and there is probably
a lot to the story of its development I don't know.

Thanks,
Jonathan
