An audit of i386/x86_64 allmodconfig builds found these instances of non-modular ACPI code needlessly using the modular equivalents of their built-in counterparts.
In fixing that, we get rid of some dead code, make the mandate of the remaining code more clear, and leave behind better examples for future ACPI code to copy/emulate. Two of them are trivial, in that there is no binary output change. The other has dead code removal so the binary output will be slightly smaller. We've done a direct mapping of module_init to device_initcall in each instance, so there is no initcall reordering risks here. Overall, in all cases, the runtime should be completely unchanged. Where others have deployed module_param() already, we have to leave it, because there is no equivalent builtin_param (not yet) and we have to remain compatible with existing bootarg users.
