      pnpacpi: print resource shortage message only once · 66a21736

      pnpacpi: exceeded the max number of IO resources: 40

While this message is a real error and should thus
remain KERN_ERR (even a new dmesg line is seen as a regression
by some, since it was not printed in 2.6.23...) it is certainly
impolite to print this warning 50 times should you happen to
have the oddball system with 90 io resources under a device...

So print the warning just once.

In 2.6.25 we'll get rid of the limits altogether
and these warnings will vanish with them.

      increase PNP_MAX_PORT to 40 from 24 · 2c838197

(PNP: increase the maximum number of resources)
increased PNP_MAX_PORT to 24 from 8.
It also added a test and a complaint when a
machine exceeded the limit, causing:

pnpacpi: exceeded the max number of IO resources: 24

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9535

We should have been squawking about this all along,
as this is a potentially serious issue.

For now, simply burn some dynamic bytes and
increase the limit by another 16 to 40.
There is no guarantee that this will satisfy
every system on Earth.  It probably will not,
but it should be an improvement.

In the future, PNPACPI should allocate resource
structures as needed, rather than max-sized arrays.
