ACPI: IA64=y ACPI=n build fix

ia64's sim_defconfig uses CONFIG_ACPI=n
which now #define's acpi_disabled in <linux/acpi.h>

So we shouldn't re-define it here in <asm/acpi.h>

ACPI: Kill overly verbose "power state" log messages

I was recently lucky enough to get a 64-CPU system, so my kernel log
ends up with 64 lines like:

ACPI: CPU0 (power states: C1[C1] C2[C3])

This is pretty useless clutter because this info is already available
after boot from both /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpuidle/state?/ as
well as /proc/acpi/processor/CPU*/power.

So just delete the code that prints the C-states in processor_idle.c.

ACPI: fix Compaq Evo N800c (Pentium 4m) boot hang regression

Don't disable ARB_DISABLE when the familary ID is 0x0F.

This was a 2.6.31 regression, and so this patch
needs to be applied to 2.6.31.stable

ACPI: Clarify resource conflict message

The message "ACPI: Device needs an ACPI driver" is misleading. The
device _may_ need an ACPI driver, if the BIOS implemented a custom
API for the device in question (which, AFAIK, can't be checked.) If
not, then either a generic ACPI driver may be used (for example
"thermal"), or nothing can be done (other than a white list).

I propose to reword the message to:

ACPI: If an ACPI driver is available for this device, you should use
it instead of the native driver

which I think is more correct. Comments and suggestions welcome.

I also added a message warning about possible problems and system
instability when users pass acpi_enforce_resources=lax, as suggested
by Len.
