ACPI: make sure every acpi_device has an ID
This makes sure every acpi_device has at least one ID. If we build an
acpi_device for a namespace node with no _HID or _CID, we sometimes
synthesize an ID like "LNXCPU" or "LNXVIDEO". If we don't even have
that, give it a default "device" ID.
Note that this means things like:
/sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/HWP0001:00/HWP0002:04/device:00
(a PCI slot SxFy device) will have "hid" and "modprobe" entries, where
they didn't before. These aren't very useful (a HID of "device" doesn't
tell you what *kind* of device it is, so it doesn't help find a driver),
but I don't think they're harmful.
