From: Al Stone <ahs3@redhat.com>

In order to deprecate the use of _OSI for arm64 or other new architectures,
we need to make the default handler something we can change for various
platforms.  This patch moves the definition of acpi_osi_handler() -- the
function used by ACPICA as a callback for evaluating _OSI -- into arch-
dependent ACPI files.  The declaration of acpi_os_handler() was moved in
a previous patch.

Previously, _OSI behaved on arm64 as it did on x86.  This patch changes
_OSI so that on arm64 it will issue a warning if invoked, and tell the
firmware that no features have been implemented (i.e., it will always
return false).

In some distant future version of ACPI where _OSI has been completely
deprecated, this implementation and all other architecture implementations
should be removed.
