NAK.  ACPI has no business rejecting kernel changes to start with, but
independent of that your patch was complete garbage anyway.

There is no need for function pointers here, please include the patch
below instead:

Subject: acpi: get rid of acpi_sleep_dispatch

No need for the array of structs of function pointers when we can just
call the handfull of functions directly.

This could be further cleaned up if acpi_gbl_reduced_hardware was defined
true in the ACPI_REDUCED_HARDWARE case, but that's material for the next
round.
