Merge branch 'release' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lenb/linux-acpi-2.6

* 'release' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lenb/linux-acpi-2.6: (68 commits)
  ACPI: replace kmalloc+memset with kzalloc
  ACPI: Add support for acpi_load_table/acpi_unload_table_id
  fbdev: update after backlight argument change
  ACPI: video: Add dev argument for backlight_device_register
  ACPI: Implement acpi_video_get_next_level()
  ACPI: Kconfig - depend on PM rather than selecting it
  ACPI: fix NULL check in drivers/acpi/osl.c
  ACPI: make drivers/acpi/ec.c:ec_ecdt static
  ACPI: prevent processor module from loading on failures
  ACPI: fix single linked list manipulation
  ACPI: ibm_acpi: allow clean removal
  ACPI: fix git automerge failure
  ACPI: ibm_acpi: respond to workqueue update
  ACPI: dock: add uevent to indicate change in device status
  ACPI: ec: Lindent once again
  ACPI: ec: Change #define to enums there possible.
  ACPI: ec: Style changes.
  ACPI: ec: Acquire Global Lock under EC mutex.
  ACPI: ec: Drop udelay() from poll mode. Loop by reading status field instead.
  ACPI: ec: Rename gpe_bit to gpe
