ACPI: crosslink ACPI and "real" device nodes
Add cross-links between ACPI device and "real" devices in sysfs, exposing otherwise-hidden interrelationships between the various device nodes for ACPI stuff. As a representative example, one hardware device is exposed as two logical devices (PNP and ACPI): .../pnp0/00:06/ .../LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/PNP0A03:00/device:15/PNP0B00:00/ The PNP device gets a "firmware_node" link pointing to the ACPI device, and is what a Linux device driver binds to. The ACPI device has instead a "physical_node" link pointing back to the PNP device. Other firmware frameworks, like OpenFirmware, could do the same thing to couple their firmware tables to the rest of the system. (Based on a patch from Zhang Rui. This version is modified to not depend on the patch makig ACPI initialize driver model wakeup flags.)
