Allowing for the future possibility of implementing AML-based
(i.e., firmware-triggered) access to the QEMU fw_cfg device,
acquire the global ACPI lock when accessing the device on behalf
of the guest-side sysfs driver, to prevent any potential race
conditions.

Each fw_cfg entry of type "file" has an associated 56-char,
nul-terminated ASCII string which represents its name. While
the fw_cfg device doesn't itself impose any specific naming
convention, QEMU developers have traditionally used path name
semantics (i.e. "etc/acpi/rsdp") to descriptively name the
various fw_cfg "blobs" passed into the guest.
This patch attempts, on a best effort basis, to create a
directory hierarchy representing the content of fw_cfg file
names, under /sys/firmware/qemu_fw_cfg/by_name.
Upon successful creation of all directories representing the
"dirname" portion of a fw_cfg file, a symlink will be created
to represent the "basename", pointing at the appropriate
/sys/firmware/qemu_fw_cfg/by_key entry. If a file name is not
suitable for this procedure (e.g., if its basename or dirname
components collide with an already existing dirname component
or basename, respectively) the corresponding fw_cfg blob is
skipped and will remain available in sysfs only by its selector
key value.

Make fw_cfg entries of type "file" available via sysfs. Entries
are listed under /sys/firmware/qemu_fw_cfg/by_key, in folders
named after each entry's selector key. Filename, selector value,
and size read-only attributes are included for each entry. Also,
a "raw" attribute allows retrieval of the full binary content of
each entry.
The fw_cfg device can be instantiated automatically from ACPI or
the Device Tree, or manually by using a kernel module (or command
line) parameter, with a syntax outlined in the documentation file.
