all "struct acpi_devnodes" to their corresponding ACPI_HANDLEs. Anywhere in
the acpi(4) subtree, the node-structure can be obtained from a handle via
acpi_get_node(). The idea is similar to e.g. device_private().
Benefits: (a) simplifies code, (b) avoids issues with locking as ACPICA does
the serialization for us, (c) avoids the need to access the glocal softc, and
(d) avoids the O(n) loop required to search for a handle from the node queue.
This retrieves a struct acpi_devnode from a handle. Since this requires
accessing the global softc, it is better to do it in one place alone. The
same goes for possible locking of the node-queue; it is better not to
publicize such a lock for generic device drivers.
around so that they appear in their logical order and place, etc. In
addition, split the utility functions to a separate file.
No functional change. Ok jmcneill@.
