ACPI: Kconfig: CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS now defaults to N
delete "default y" from CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS (effectively making the default 'N') List exactly what /proc files this option controls, and clarify that it doesn't change non-deprecated files. Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

- The Procfs interface for ACPI is made optional for backward compatibility.
- As the same functions are duplicated in the sysfs interface
- and this proc interface will be removed some time later,
- it's marked as deprecated.
- ( /proc/acpi/debug_layer && debug_level are deprecated by
- /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_layer && debug_level.
- /proc/acpi/info is deprecated by
- /sys/module/acpi/parameters/acpica_version )
+ For backwards compatibility, this option allows
+ depricated /proc/acpi/ files to exist, even when
+ they have been replaced by functions in /sys.
+ The deprecated files (and their replacements) include:
+
+ /proc/acpi/info (/sys/modules/acpi/parameters/acpica_version)
+ /proc/acpi/dsdt (/sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT)
+ /proc/acpi/fadt (/sys/firmware/acpi/tables/FACP)
+ /proc/acpi/debug_layer (/sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_layer)
+ /proc/acpi/debug_level (/sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_level)
+
+ This option has no effect on /proc/acpi/ files
+ and functions which do not yet exist in /sys.
+
+ Say N to delete /proc/acpi/ files that have moved to /sys/
