Fixed a problem with the internal FADT conversion where ACPI 1.0
FADTs that contained invalid non-zero values in reserved fields
could cause later failures because these fields have meaning in
later revisions of the FADT. For incoming ACPI 1.0 FADTs, these
fields are now always zeroed. (Preferred_PM_Profile, PSTATE_CNT,
CST_CNT, IAPC_BOOT_FLAGS.)

Linux-2.6.21 stopped booting on a P4/HT because Linux
wrote the FADT.CST_CNT value to the SMI_CMD.
Apparently this stumbled over some SMM instability,
such as confusing SMM when invoking it from cpu1.

Linux did this because even though the r2 FADT reserves
the CST_CNT field, this BIOS set that field and Linux
used it.

Turns out that up through 2.6.20 we explicitly cleared
cst_control for r2 FADTs.  So here we go back to doing that,
plus also clear some additional fields that are reserved
until FADT r3.

Make acpi_load_table() available for use by removing it from the #ifdef
ACPI_FUTURE_USAGE.

Also add a new routine used to unload an ACPI table of a given type and "id" -
acpi_unload_table_id().  The implementation of this new routine was almost a
direct copy of existing routine acpi_unload_table() - only difference being
that it only removes a specific table id instead of ALL tables of a given
type.  The SN hotplug driver (sgi_hotplug.c) now uses both of these interfaces
to dynamically load and unload SSDT ACPI tables.

Also, a few other ACPI routines now used by the SN hotplug driver are exported
(since the driver can be a loadable module):

Added the ACPI_PACKED_POINTERS_NOT_SUPPORTED macro to
support C compilers that do not allow the initialization
of address pointers within packed structures - even though
the hardware itself may support misaligned transfers. Some
of the debug data structures are packed by default to
minimize size.

Added an error message for the case where
acpi_os_get_thread_id() returns zero. A non-zero value is
required by the core ACPICA code to ensure the proper
operation of AML mutexes and recursive control methods.

The DSDT is now the only ACPI table that determines whether
the AML interpreter is in 32-bit or 64-bit mode. Not really
a functional change, but the hooks for per-table 32/64
switching have been removed from the code. A clarification
to the ACPI specification is forthcoming in ACPI 3.0B.

Replaced the acpi_os_queue_for_execution() with a new
interface named acpi_os_execute(). The major difference is
that the new interface does not have a Priority parameter,
this appeared to be useless and has been replaced by
a Type parameter. The Type tells the OS what type of
execution is being requested, such as global lock handler,
notify handler, GPE handler, etc. This allows the host
to queue and execute the request as appropriate for the
request type, possibly using different work queues and
different priorities for the various request types. This

Removed a device initialization optimization introduced in
20051216 where the _STA method was not run unless an _INI
was also present for the same device. This optimization
could cause problems because it could allow _INI methods
to be run within a not-present device subtree (If a
not-present device had no _INI, _STA would not be run,
the not-present status would not be discovered, and the
children of the device would be incorrectly traversed.)

Implemented a new _STA optimization where namespace
subtrees that do not contain _INI are identified and
ignored during device initialization. Selectively running
_STA can significantly improve boot time on large machines
(with assistance from Len Brown.)

Implemented support for the device initialization case
where the returned _STA flags indicate a device not-present
but functioning. In this case, _INI is not run, but the
device children are examined for presence, as per the
ACPI specification.

Implemented an additional change to the IndexField support
in order to conform to MS behavior. The value written to
the Index Register is not simply a byte offset, it is a

Defined and deployed a new OSL interface,
acpi_os_validate_address().  This interface is called during
the creation of all AML operation regions, and allows
the host OS to exert control over what addresses it will
allow the AML code to access. Operation Regions whose
addresses are disallowed will cause a runtime exception
when they are actually accessed (will not affect or abort
table loading.)

Implemented support to allow tables that contain ACPI

this would cause the table load to fail, but since
there are several known cases of such tables on

mechanism that detects and corrects methods that cannot
properly handle reentrancy (related to the deployment of
the new OwnerId mechanism.)

Eliminated the pre-parsing of control methods (to detect
errors) during table load. Related to the problem above,
this was causing unwind issues if any errors occurred
during the parse, and it seemed to be overkill. A table
load should not be aborted if there are problems with
any single control method, thus rendering this feature
rather pointless.

simplify and eliminate duplicated code, CPU stack use has
been decreased by optimizing function parameters and local

been standardized for clarity and ease of maintenance (this

All Resource Manager dispatch and information tables have
been moved to a single location for clarity and ease of

The ACPI return macros (return_ACPI_STATUS, etc.) have
been modified to guarantee that the argument is
not evaluated twice, making them less prone to macro
side-effects. However, since there exists the possibility
of additional stack use if a particular compiler cannot
optimize them (such as in the debug generation case),
the original macros are optionally available.  Note that
some invocations of the return_VALUE macro may now cause
size mismatch warnings; the return_UINT8 and return_UINT32
macros are provided to eliminate these. (From Randy Dunlap)

Implemented a new mechanism to enable debug tracing for
individual control methods. A new external interface,
acpi_debug_trace(), is provided to enable this mechanism. The
intent is to allow the host OS to easily enable and disable
tracing for problematic control methods. This interface
can be easily exposed to a user or debugger interface if
desired. See the file psxface.c for details.

acpi_ut_callocate() will now return a valid pointer if a
length of zero is specified - a length of one is used
and a warning is issued. This matches the behavior of
acpi_ut_allocate().
