acipca patches for Intel

[Nate Lawson <nate-Y6VGUYTwhu0@public.gmane.org>]

When you moved the DmDecodeNode function to dmobject.c, you left the
prototype defined in two places.  This gives a warning.

We submitted this a while ago but it hasn't made it into the 0619 dist.
Use the correct register constant for HwRegisterWrite.  This fixes

This patch reverts part of 0619 to fix _BST errors on IBM thinkpads (and
others.  It appears many ASL versions do not implement the alluded to 2.0C
copy semantics.

Finally, I did not commit this change but it has been necessary in the
past.  Can you comment on the need to specify an OwnerId?
