- Fix for a GPE handling regression on Dell Latitude D600 that
caused GPE signaling to stop working on that machine, which
appears to be due to a hardware glitch, but it used to work
and it can be made work again in a relativly straightforward
way (Rafael J Wysocki).
- Fix for a mutex unlock regression related to the handling of ACPI
tables introduced during the 3.16 development cycle (Octavian Purdila).
- _REV modification to always return 2 which has been done by all
versions of Windows since NT and the firmware people started to
use it to distinguish between OSes in their AML and do some silly
and wrong things on that basis (Bob Moore).
- Fixes and cleanups related to the acpi_physicall_address data type
including one stable-candidate fix for an issue occasionally occuring
on 64-bit machines running 32-bit kernels where using offsets provided
by the firmware may lead to address overflows (Lv Zheng).
- External() opcode support infrastructure needed for recompiling
disassembled ACPI tables in some cases including interpreter
modification to ignore that opcode (Bob Moore).
- Support for the "Windows 2015" string in _OSI (Bob Moore).
- GPE debug interface change to return values read from hardware
registers (Lv Zheng).
- Removal of the __DATE__ macro usage in tools (Rasmus Villemoes).
- Assorted minor fixes and cleanups (Lv Zheng, Rickard Strandqvist,
Bob Moore).

Pull ACPICA updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"This updates the kernel's ACPICA code to upstream revision 20150410
and adds a fix for a GPE handling regression introduced during the
3.19 cycle on top of that.
Included are two stable-candidate bug fixes (one of them fixing a 3.16
regression), multiple other fixes and a bunch of cleanups.
Specifics:
- Fix for a GPE handling regression on Dell Latitude D600 that caused
GPE signaling to stop working on that machine, which appears to be
due to a hardware glitch, but it used to work and it can be made
work again in a relativly straightforward way (Rafael J Wysocki).
