From: Al Stone al.stone@linaro.org
Add the ACPI_SPEC_VERSION() macro to build a proper version number from a major and minor revision number. Add also the ACPI_FADT_SPEC_VERSION that constructs a proper version number from the entries in the current FADT.
These macros are added in order to simplify retrieving and comparing ACPI specification version numbers, since this is becoming a more frequent need. In particular, there are some architectures that require at least a certain version of the spec, and there are differences in some structure sizes that have changed with recent versions but can only be tracked by spec version number.
