#1334162 — [PATCH 0/3] acpi: remove modular references from non modular code

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.

Paul.

#1334163 — [PATCH 2/3] drivers/acpi: make apei/ghes.c more explicitly non-modular

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:

config ACPI_APEI_GHES
      bool "APEI Generic Hardware Error Source"

...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.

Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that
when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.

Since module_init translates to device_initcall in the non-modular
case, the init ordering remains unchanged with this commit.

We replace module.h with moduleparam.h as we are keeping the
pre-existing module_param that the file has, as currently that is
the easiest way to maintain compatibility with the existing boot
arg use cases.

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:

Initially I want to make it a module, but then people told me it's not
safe to remove operation region handler during runtime, so it became
always builtin. We can change it back to module once the above problem
is solved.

[Lv Zheng] 
Especially, this can pass module test if it is built along with a workaround to fix the ACPICA defects.
The workaround is not upstreamed because it is just a workaround, real fix should be done inside of ACPICA.

Thanks and best regards

[Lv Zheng] 
Some drivers indeed can be built as modules.
They are not modules just because defects in the APIs that are provided by ACPICA.
And the defects will be no longer there sooner or later.
