From: Lv Zheng lv.zheng@intel.com

[ Upstream commit 84676b87b27d8aefafb9f712a5b444938f284513 ]

ACPICA commit e2df7455a9a4301b03668e4c9c02c7a564cc841c

Some hosts may choose not to include stdarg.h, implementing a configurability in acgcc.h, allowing OSen like Solaris to exclude stdarg.h. This patch also fixes acintel.h accordingly without providing builtin support as Intel compiler is similar as GCC. Reported by Dana Myers, fixed by Lv Zheng.
