The auto-serialization feature is introduced in ACPICA 20140214 release, it is reverted due to the new bug reports. The feature fixes a compliance issue between the ACPICA interpreter and the de-facto implementation. Users are encouraged to use this feature to provide the feedbacks. This series re-orders the patches to implement the feature so that it can be marked out by reverting the last patch in this series when new problems are detected. This series can also reduce the source code differences between Linux and ACPICA upstream. Bob Moore (2): ACPICA: Add auto-serialization support for ill-behaved control methods. ACPICA: Ignore sync_level for methods that have been auto-serialized. Lv Zheng (3): ACPICA: Remove global option to serialize all control methods. ACPICA: Add additional named objects for the auto-serialize method scan. ACPICA: Enable auto-serialization as a default kernel behavior.
