Added one new package type, a package that contains a revision number and
a variable number of sub-packages. Restructured the module to
put the sub-package list traversal in a separate function.

Fixes a problem where a predefined method is defined to return
a variable-length Package of sub-packages. If the length is one,
the BIOS code occasionally creates a simple single package with
no sub-packages. This code attempts to fix the problem by wrapping
a new package object around the existing package. ACPICA BZ 790.

This fixes a problem where the code that attempts to repair/convert
an object of incorrect type is only executed on the first time the
predefined method is called. The mechanism that disables warnings
on subsequent calls was interfering with the repair mechanism.

Fixed a possible leak when an attempt is made to repair a return

Remove all instances of this obsolete macro, since it is now a

of the macro across 41 files. ACPICA BZ 755.

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.
