[PATCH 04/10] ACPI: Limit access to custom_method

[Matthew Garrett <matthew.garrett@nebula.com>]

custom_method effectively allows arbitrary access to system memory, making
it possible for an attacker to circumvent restrictions on module loading.
Disable it if any such restrictions have been enabled.
