BatteryClassStatusNotify is used by battery miniport drivers to notify the Battery Class of a status change. This can either be a battery status change or battery tag assignation, depending on what the device extension (namely the composite battery) waits for.
We do have implementation for EVENT_BATTERY_STATUS but not for EVENT_BATTERY_TAG. What happens is when BatteryClassIoctl fails to query the battery tag because it has not yet been assigned, the thread is stuck on waiting for the event object to be signaled, forever.
This tipically happens when a timeout of -1 (meaning the calling thread must wait indefinitely) is supplied. The composite battery driver (COMPBATT) is responsible to signal the Battery Class when a CM (Control Method) ACPI battery receives a tag, which then this function will signal the event.

KeWaitForSingleObject takes 100ns unit for timeout. Both IOCTL_BATTERY_QUERY_TAG and IOCTL_BATTERY_QUERY_STATUS take a wait for the timeout in milliseconds.
Supposedly a miniport driver wants to supply a wait of 5000 ms (which is equivalent to 5 s), the miniport driver WON'T BE WAITING 5 seconds but 0.5!!!

They were reversed, which meant to immediately complete the IRP
if conditions were NOT satisfied.
Remove a now useless/invalid call to QueryStatus, to return the
status which lead to IRP completion.
At first QueryStatus call, output is written to Irp->AssociatedIrp.SystemBuffer.
Unfortunately, this is also the BattWait buffer.
At return of QueryStatus call, BattWait buffer has been modified, so
following code can't use it anymore.
Fix memory overwrite by copying BattWait buffer on the stack.
There is no need to compile our DLLs as shared libraries since we are
managing symbols exports and imports through spec files.
On my system, this reduces the configure-time by a factor of two.
- Add missing parameter to a DPRINT.
- Print pointers using %p instead of %x.
- Move all executable code behind a functions initial DPRINT.
- Do not use non-trivial initializers.
- Check for NULL instead of using !.
- Add missing parentheses.
