Implemented support to ignore an attempt to install/load
a particular ACPI table more than once. Apparently there
exists BIOS code that repeatedly attempts to load the same
SSDT upon certain events. Thanks to Venkatesh Pallipadi.
Restructured the main interface to the AML parser in
order to correctly handle all exceptional conditions. This
will prevent leakage of the OwnerId resource and should
eliminate the AE_OWNER_ID_LIMIT exceptions seen on some
machines. Thanks to Alexey Starikovskiy.
Support for "module level code" has been disabled in this
version due to a number of issues that have appeared
on various machines. The support can be enabled by
defining ACPI_ENABLE_MODULE_LEVEL_CODE during subsystem
compilation. When the issues are fully resolved, the code
will be enabled by default again.
Modified the internal functions for debug print support
to define the FunctionName parameter as a (const char *)
for compatibility with compiler built-in macros such as
__FUNCTION__, etc.
Linted the entire ACPICA source tree for both 32-bit
and 64-bit.

The use of the CPU stack in the debug version of the
subsystem has been considerably reduced. Previously, a
debug structure was declared in every function that used
the debug macros. This structure has been removed in
favor of declaring the individual elements as parameters
to the debug functions. This reduces the cumulative stack
use during nested execution of ACPI function calls at the
cost of a small increase in the code size of the debug
version of the subsystem. With assistance from Alexey
Starikovskiy and Len Brown.
Added the ACPI_GET_FUNCTION_NAME macro to enable the
compiler-dependent headers to define a macro that will
return the current function name at runtime (such as
__FUNCTION__ or _func_, etc.) The function name is used
by the debug trace output. If ACPI_GET_FUNCTION_NAME
is not defined in the compiler-dependent header, the
function name is saved on the CPU stack (one pointer per
function.) This mechanism is used because apparently there
exists no standard ANSI-C defined macro that that returns
the function name.
Alexey Starikovskiy redesigned and reimplemented the
"Owner ID" mechanism used to track namespace objects
created/deleted by ACPI tables and control method
execution. A bitmap is now used to allocate and free the
IDs, thus solving the wraparound problem present in the
previous implementation. The size of the namespace node
descriptor was reduced by 2 bytes as a result.
Removed the UINT32_BIT and UINT16_BIT types that were used
for the bitfield flag definitions within the headers for
the predefined ACPI tables. These have been replaced by
UINT8_BIT in order to increase the code portability of
the subsystem. If the use of UINT8 remains a problem,
we may be forced to eliminate bitfields entirely because
of a lack of portability.
Alexey Starikovksiy enhanced the performance of
acpi_ut_update_object_reference. This is a frequently used
function and this improvement increases the performance
of the entire subsystem.
Alexey Starikovskiy fixed several possible memory leaks
and the inverse - premature object deletion.

Implemented support to execute Type 1 and Type 2 AML
opcodes appearing at the module level (not within a control
method.) These opcodes are executed exactly once at the
time the table is loaded. This type of code was legal up
until the release of ACPI 2.0B (2002) and is now supported
within ACPI CA in order to provide backwards compatibility
with earlier BIOS implementations. This eliminates the
"Encountered executable code at module level" warning that
was previously generated upon detection of such code.
Fixed a problem in the interpreter where an AE_NOT_FOUND
exception could inadvertently be generated during the
lookup of namespace objects in the second pass parse of
ACPI tables and control methods. It appears that this
problem could occur during the resolution of forward
references to namespace objects.
Added the ACPI_MUTEX_DEBUG #ifdef to the
acpi_ut_release_mutex function, corresponding to the same
the deadlock detection debug code to be compiled out in
the normal case, improving mutex performance (and overall
subsystem performance) considerably. As suggested by
Alexey Starikovskiy.
Implemented a handful of miscellaneous fixes for possible
memory leaks on error conditions and error handling
control paths. These fixes were suggested by FreeBSD and
the Coverity Prevent source code analysis tool.
Added a check for a null RSDT pointer in
acpi_get_firmware_table (tbxfroot.c) to prevent a fault
in this error case.

Fixed three cases in the interpreter where an "index"
argument to an ASL function was still (internally) 32
bits instead of the required 64 bits. This was the Index
argument to the Index, Mid, and Match operators.
The "strupr" function is now permanently local
(acpi_ut_strupr), since this is not a POSIX-defined
function and not present in most kernel-level C
libraries. References to the C library strupr function
have been removed from the headers.
Completed the deployment of static
functions/prototypes. All prototypes with the static
attribute have been moved from the headers to the owning
C file.
ACPICA 20050329 from Bob Moore
An error is now generated if an attempt is made to create
a Buffer Field of length zero (A CreateField with a length
operand of zero.)
The interpreter now issues a warning whenever executable
code at the module level is detected during ACPI table
load. This will give some idea of the prevalence of this
type of code.
Implemented support for references to named objects (other
than control methods) within package objects.
Enhanced package object output for the debug
object. Package objects are now completely dumped, showing
all elements.
Enhanced miscellaneous object output for the debug
object. Any object can now be written to the debug object
(for example, a device object can be written, and the type
of the object will be displayed.)
The "static" qualifier has been added to all local
functions across the core subsystem.
The number of "long" lines (> 80 chars) within the source
has been significantly reduced, by about 1/3.
Cleaned up all header files to ensure that all CA/iASL
functions are prototyped (even static functions) and the
formatting is consistent.
Two new header files have been added, acopcode.h and
acnames.h.
Removed several obsolete functions that were no longer
used.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
