(i.e., smart battery) and fix various bugs found during the cleanup.
API changes:
* kernel access:
Access to individual batteries is now via devclass_find("battery").
Introduce new methods ACPI_BATT_GET_STATUS (for _BST-formatted data) and
ACPI_BATT_GET_INFO (for _BIF-formatted data). The helper function
acpi_battery_get_battinfo() now takes a device_t instead of a unit #
argument. If dev is NULL, this signifies all batteries.
* ioctl access:
The ACPIIO_BATT_GET_TYPE and ACPIIO_BATT_GET_BATTDESC ioctls have been
removed. Since there is now no need for a mapping between "virtual" unit
and physical unit, usermode programs can just specify the unit directly and
skip the old translation steps. In fact, acpiconf(8) was actually already
doing this and virtual unit was the same as physical unit in all cases
since there was previously only one battery type (acpi_cmbat). Additionally,
we now map the ACPIIO_BATT_GET_BIF and ACPIIO_BATT_GET_BST ioctls for all
batteries, if they provide the associated methods.
* apm compatibility device/ioctls: no change
* sysctl: no change
Since most third-party applications use the apm(4) compat interface, there
should be very few affected applications (if any).

to see what features they may support before calling identify/probe/attach.
This is necessary because the ACPI 3.0 spec requires driver support be
advertised before running any methods. For now, the flags are as specified
in for the _PDC and _OSC methods but we can support private flags as needed.
Add an implementation of this for acpi_cpu. It checks all its children
(notably cpufreq drivers) and calls the _PDC method to report the results.
(like an EC/SMbus controller) to access the EC address space. Access
is synchronized by the EcLock/Unlock routines in EcSpaceHandler().

allows a bus to re-enumerate its child handles and optionally replace
them with new children, arranged to the bus's liking. (The current device
space is flat with all devices immediately under acpi0). Add comments
for each interface.
namespace. This is to allow decoupling of attachments from ACPI where they
need some functionality when ACPI is present but do not want to require ACPI
to always be loaded.
