ACPI: stop complaints about interrupt link End Tags and blank IRQ descriptors
Silently ignore _PRS End Tags. We already ignore Start Dependent Functions in _PRS, and we already ignore End Tags in _CRS, so we might as well ignore End Tags in _PRS as well. Silently ignore _PRS IRQ descriptors that mention no interrupts. The spec allows this (section 6.4.2.1 in ACPI 3.0b spec), and it probably means the interrupt link can't be configured at all. This patch doesn't change any functional behavior; it just removes confusing complaints like these: ACPI: Blank IRQ resource ACPI: Resource is not an IRQ entry when parsing _PRS data "23 00 00 18 79 00" from an IBM xSeries 335 dual Pentium IV Xeon 2.40 GHz machine. For more details, see http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11049 The "23 00 00 18" part is a three-byte-long small IRQ resource with no bits set in the IRQ mask ("00 00"), and level-triggered, active low, shareable ("18"). The "79 00" is an End Tag (type 0x7). It is superfluous since there is no Start Dependent Function tag and there are no resources after it, but it is harmless.
