Introduce struct acpi_scan_handler for representing objects that will do configuration tasks depending on ACPI device nodes' hardware IDs (HIDs). Currently, those tasks are done either directly by the ACPI namespace scanning code or by ACPI device drivers designed specifically for this purpose. None of the above is desirable, however, because doing that directly in the namespace scanning code makes that code overly complicated and difficult to follow and doing that in "special" device drivers leads to a great deal of confusion about their role and to confusing interactions with the driver core (for example, sysfs directories are created for those drivers, but they are completely unnecessary and only increase the kernel's memory footprint in vain).
