    Implemented support in the Resource Manager to allow
    unresolved namestring references within resource package
    objects for the _PRT method. This support is in addition
    to the previously implemented unresolved reference
    support within the AML parser. If the interpreter slack
    mode is enabled (true on Linux unless acpi=strict),
    these unresolved references will be passed through
    to the caller as a NULL package entry.

    Implemented and deployed new macros and functions for
    error and warning messages across the subsystem. These
    macros are simpler and generate less code than their
    predecessors. The new macros ACPI_ERROR, ACPI_EXCEPTION,
    ACPI_WARNING, and ACPI_INFO replace the ACPI_REPORT_*
    macros.
    
    Implemented the acpi_cpu_flags type to simplify host OS
    integration of the Acquire/Release Lock OSL interfaces.
    Suggested by Steven Rostedt and Andrew Morton.
    
    Fixed a problem where Alias ASL operators are sometimes
    not correctly resolved. causing AE_AML_INTERNAL

    Fixed several problems with the implementation of the
    ConcatenateResTemplate ASL operator. As per the ACPI
    specification, zero length buffers are now treated as a
    single EndTag. One-length buffers always cause a fatal
    exception. Non-zero length buffers that do not end with
    a full 2-byte EndTag cause a fatal exception.
    
    Fixed a possible structure overwrite in the
    AcpiGetObjectInfo external interface. (With assistance
    from Thomas Renninger)
