Originally AML table sanity check is only done for Load opcode, as acpi_tb_compare_tables() is only invoked in acpi_tb_install_standard_table(). While LoadTable opcode cannot be covered as it directly invokes acpi_tb_load_table() without invoking acpi_tb_install_standard_table(). Furthermore, standard table load also cannot be covered as acpi_ns_load_table() is invoked instead of acpi_tb_install_standard_table() and acpi_tb_load_table(). So it becomes a problem if a duplicate table is in RSDT/XSDT, there is no such check implemented for static load tables and LoadTable opcode. This patchset combines code paths (in return reduces some redundant code blocks and enhances checks/locks) so that duplicate table detection can be applied to all cases.
