From: Bob Moore <robert.moore@xxxxxxxxx>
For the cases such as a store of a string to an existing package
object, implement the store as a CopyObject().
This is a small departure from the ACPI specification which states
that the control method should be aborted in this case. However,
ASLTS suite depends on this behavior.
