    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    this appeared to be useless and has been replaced by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
    enables fixes for multithreading deadlock problems such as

    Fixed a possible memory leak associated with the
    support for the so-called "implicit return" ACPI
    extension. Reported by FreeBSD  (Fiodor Suietov)

    Fixed a problem with the Load() operator where a table
    load from an operation region could overwrite an internal
    table buffer by up to 7 bytes and cause alignment faults
    on IPF systems. (With assistance from Luming Yu)
