Linux claims Vista compatibility to the BIOS for a number of
reasons, but this brings hard lockup on some Sony laptops.
Disable Vista compatibility via DMI for these laptops unless
we can figure out what Vista is doing for this platform.

Linux will continue to ignore OSI(Linux),
except for a white-list containing a few systems.
So delete the black-list,
and stop soliciting user-feedback on the console.

move some OSI(Linux) to "disable" from "unknown"
to reduce dmesg lines that we don't really need.
update Acer 5315 comment
update Dell entries, add R200 entry
update Apple entries

dmi_check_system() does sub-string matching using strstr(),
rather than exact string compares with !strcmp().
So delete the longer of the Acer blacklist entries, as its
function is just a redundant console message.

This DMI blacklist reduces the console messages
on systems which have a BIOS that invokes OSI(Linux).
As the DMI blacklist already knows about these systems,
the request for DMI info itself is disabled.
Further, if OSI(Linux) has already been determined
to have no beneift, we disable the console message
requesting acpi_osi=Linux test results.

If BIOS invokes _OSI(Linux), the kernel response
depends on what the ACPI DMI list knows about the system,
and that is reflectd in dmesg:
1) System unknown to DMI:
ACPI: BIOS _OSI(Linux) query ignored
ACPI: DMI System Vendor: LENOVO
ACPI: DMI Product Name: 7661W1P
ACPI: DMI Product Version: ThinkPad T61
ACPI: DMI Board Name: 7661W1P
ACPI: DMI BIOS Vendor: LENOVO
ACPI: DMI BIOS Date: 10/18/2007
ACPI: Please send DMI info above to linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org
ACPI: If "acpi_osi=Linux" works better, please notify linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org
2) System known to DMI, but effect of OSI(Linux) unknown:
ACPI: DMI detected: Lenovo ThinkPad T61
...
ACPI: BIOS _OSI(Linux) query ignored via DMI
ACPI: If "acpi_osi=Linux" works better, please notify linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org
3) System known to DMI, which disables _OSI(Linux):
ACPI: DMI detected: Lenovo ThinkPad T61
...
ACPI: BIOS _OSI(Linux) query ignored via DMI
4) System known to DMI, which enable _OSI(Linux):
ACPI: DMI detected: Lenovo ThinkPad T61
ACPI: Added _OSI(Linux)
...
ACPI: BIOS _OSI(Linux) query honored via DMI
cmdline overrides take precidence over the built-in
default and the DMI prescribed default.
cmdline "acpi_osi=Linux" results in:
ACPI: BIOS _OSI(Linux) query honored via cmdline

IMHO, ACPI disabled due to DMI failure or blacklisted year should be noted,
as is done with other ACPI blacklisting.
This will help people troubleshoot when ACPI isn't working. Status quo is
a mysterious "ACPI Disabled" message without explanation on BIOS that
implements ACPI but not DMI. This is actually fairly common on embedded
x86 boards.

- Move the core parser into dmi_scan.c. It can be useful for other
subsystems too.
- Differentiate between field doesn't exist and field is 0 or
unparseable. The first case is likely an old BIOS with broken ACPI,
the later is likely a slightly buggy BIOS where someone forget to
edit the date. Don't blacklist in the later case.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
