[ACPI] fix acpi_asus module build (Stephen Hemminger)

[ACPI] Summary of changes for ACPICA version 20031002:

Fixed a problem with Index Fields where the index was not incremented for fields that require multiple writes to the index/data registers (Fields that are wider than the data register.)

Fixed a problem with all Field objects where a write could go beyond
the
end-of-field if the field was larger than the access granularity and therefore required multiple writes to complete the request. An extra write beyond the end of the field could happen inadvertently.

Fixed a problem with Index Fields where a BUFFER_OVERFLOW error would incorrectly be returned if the width of the Data Register was larger than the specified field access width.

Completed fixes for LoadTable() and Unload() and verified their operation. Implemented full support for the "DdbHandle" object throughout the ACPI CA subsystem.

Implemented full support for the MADT and ECDT tables in the ACPI CA header files. Even though these tables are not directly consumed by ACPI CA, the header definitions are useful for ACPI device drivers.

Integrated resource descriptor fixes posted to the Linux ACPI list. This included checks for minimum descriptor length, and support for trailing NULL strings within descriptors that have optional string elements.

Fixed a problem where the SMI_CMD register could be written even if
it
was not supported on the platform (when FADT.SMI_CMD is zero)
