ACPI / ACPICA: Do not execute _PRW methods during initialization
Currently, during initialization ACPICA walks the entire ACPI namespace in search of any device objects with assciated _PRW methods. All of the _PRW methods found are executed in the process to extract the GPE information returned by them, so that the GPEs in question can be marked as "able to wakeup" (more precisely, the ACPI_GPE_CAN_WAKE flag is set for them). The only purpose of this exercise is to avoid enabling the CAN_WAKE GPEs automatically, even if there are _Lxx/_Exx methods associated with them. However, it is both costly and unnecessary, because the host OS has to execute the _PRW methods anyway to check which devices can wake up the system from sleep states. Moreover, it then uses full information returned by _PRW, including the GPE information, so it can take care of disabling the GPEs if necessary. Remove the code that walks the namespace and executes _PRW from ACPICA and modify comments to reflect that change. Make acpi_bus_set_run_wake_flags() disable GPEs for wakeup devices so that they don't cause spurious wakeup events to be signaled. This not only reduces the complexity of the ACPICA initialization code, but in some cases it should reduce the kernel boot time as well. Unfortunately, for this purpose we need a new ACPICA function, acpi_gpe_can_wake(), to be called by the host OS in order to disable the GPEs that can wake up the system and were previously enabled by acpi_ev_initialize_gpe_block() or acpi_ev_update_gpes() (such a GPE should be disabled only once, because the initialization code enables it only once, but it may be pointed to by _PRW for multiple devices and that's why the additional function is necessary).
