acpi.h now includes only the "public" acpica headers. All other
acpica headers are "private" and should not be included by acpica
users. One new file, accommon.h is used to include the commonly
used private headers for acpica code generation. Future plans
are to move all private headers to a new subdirectory.

For predefined methods (such as _BIF), add automatic conversion for
objects that are required to be a String, but a Buffer was found
instead. This can happen when reading string battery data from
an operation region, because it used to be difficult to convert
the data from buffer to string from within the ASL. Linux BZ 11822.

Validates predefined ACPI objects that appear in the namespace,
at the time they are evaluated. The argument count and the type of
the returned object are validated. The purpose of this validation
is to detect problems with the BIOS-exposed predefined ACPI objects
before the results are returned to the ACPI-related drivers.
