[PATCH 00/11] ACPICA 20130328 Release

[Lv Zheng <lv.zheng@intel.com>]

The 20130328 ACPICA kernel resident system updates is linuxized based on
the pm/linux-next branch.
The patch set has passed a basic build/boot test on z530.

Fixed several possible race conditions with the internal object reference 
counting mechanism. Some of the external ACPICA interfaces update object 
reference counts without holding the interpreter or namespace lock. This 
change adds a spinlock to protect reference count updates on the internal 
ACPICA objects. Reported by and with assistance from Andriy Gapon 
(avg@FreeBSD.org).

FADT support: Removed an extraneous warning for very large GPE register sets. 
This change removes a size mismatch warning if the legacy length field for a 
GPE register set is larger than the 64-bit GAS structure can accommodate. GPE 
register sets can be larger than the 255-bit width limitation of the GAS 
structure. Linn Crosetto (linn@hp.com).

_OSI Support: handle any errors from AcpiOsAcquireMutex. Check for error 
return from this interface. Handles a possible timeout case if 
ACPI_WAIT_FOREVER is modified by the host to be a value less than "forever".

Predefined name support: Add allowed/required argument type information to 
the master predefined info table. This change adds the infrastructure to 
enable typechecking on incoming arguments for all predefined methods/objects. 
It does not actually contain the code that will fully utilize this 
information, this is still under development. Also condenses some duplicate 
code for the predefined names into a new module, utilities/utpredef.c

Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent 
acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 32-bit compiler. The 
debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a 
much larger code and data size.
