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@xxxxxxxxxxx).
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@xxxxxx).
_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.
