[RESEND PATCH 5/6] ACPI video: support _BQC/_BCL/_BCM methods that use index values

[Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com>]

Subject: support _BQC/_BCL/_BCM methods that use index values
From: Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com>

The input/output of _BQC/_BCL/_BCM control methods should be represented
by a number between 0 and 100, and can be thought of as a percentage.
But some buggy _BQC/_BCL/_BCM methods use the index values instead.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12302
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12249
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12037

Add the functionality to support such kind of BIOSes in ACPI video driver.
