    ACPI: ACPICA 20060707 · f6dd9221
    Bob Moore authored
    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.
    
    Fixed a possible leak of an Owner ID in the error
    path of tbinstal.c acpi_tb_init_table_descriptor() and
    migrated all table OwnerID deletion to a single place in
    acpi_tb_uninstall_table() to correct possible leaks when using
    the acpi_tb_delete_tables_by_type() interface (with assistance
    from Lance Ortiz.)
    
    Fixed a problem with Serialized control methods where the
    semaphore associated with the method could be over-signaled
    after multiple method invocations.
    
    Fixed two issues with the locking of the internal
    namespace data structure. Both the Unload() operator and
    acpi_unload_table() interface now lock the namespace during
    the namespace deletion associated with the table unload
    (with assistance from Linn Crosetto.)
    
    Fixed problem reports (Valery Podrezov) integrated: -
    Eliminate unnecessary memory allocation for CreateXxxxField

    Fixed problem reports (Fiodor Suietov) integrated: -
    Incomplete cleanup branches in AcpiTbGetTableRsdt (BZ 369)
    - On Address Space handler deletion, needless deactivation
    call (BZ 374) - AcpiRemoveAddressSpaceHandler: validate
    Device handle parameter (BZ 375) - Possible memory leak,
    Notify sub-objects of Processor, Power, ThermalZone (BZ
    376) - AcpiRemoveAddressSpaceHandler: validate Handler
    parameter (BZ 378) - Minimum Length of RSDT should be
    validated (BZ 379) - AcpiRemoveNotifyHandler: return
    AE_NOT_EXIST if Processor Obj has no Handler (BZ (380)
    - AcpiUnloadTable: return AE_NOT_EXIST if no table of
    specified type loaded (BZ 381)
