    Implemented a new acpi_spinlock type for the OSL lock
    interfaces.  This allows the type to be customized to
    the host OS for improved efficiency (since a spinlock is
    usually a very small object.)
    
    Implemented support for "ignored" bits in the ACPI
    registers.  According to the ACPI specification, these
    bits should be preserved when writing the registers via
    a read/modify/write cycle. There are 3 bits preserved
    in this manner: PM1_CONTROL[0] (SCI_EN), PM1_CONTROL[9],
    and PM1_STATUS[11].

    Implemented the initial deployment of new OSL mutex
    interfaces.  Since some host operating systems have
    separate mutex and semaphore objects, this feature was
    requested. The base code now uses mutexes (and the new
    mutex interfaces) wherever a binary semaphore was used
    previously. However, for the current release, the mutex
    interfaces are defined as macros to map them to the
    existing semaphore interfaces.
    
    Fixed several problems with the support for the control
    method SyncLevel parameter. The SyncLevel now works
    according to the ACPI specification and in concert with the
    Mutex SyncLevel parameter, since the current SyncLevel is
    a property of the executing thread. Mutual exclusion for
    control methods is now implemented with a mutex instead
    of a semaphore.
    
    Fixed three instances of the use of the C shift operator
    in the bitfield support code (exfldio.c) to avoid the use
    of a shift value larger than the target data width. The
    behavior of C compilers is undefined in this case and can
    cause unpredictable results, and therefore the case must
    be detected and avoided.  (Fiodor Suietov)
    
    Added an info message whenever an SSDT or OEM table
    is loaded dynamically via the Load() or LoadTable()
    ASL operators. This should improve debugging capability
    since it will show exactly what tables have been loaded
    (beyond the tables present in the RSDT/XSDT.)
