Moved all FADT-related functions to a new file, tbfadt.c.
Eliminated the acpi_hw_initialize function - the
FADT registers are now validated when the table is loaded.

Enhanced the implementation of the interpreters'
serialized mode (boot with "acpi_serialize" to set
acpi_glb_all_methods_serialized flag.)
When this mode is specified, instead of creating a serialization
semaphore per control method, the interpreter lock is
simply no longer released before a blocking operation
during control method execution. This effectively makes
the AML Interpreter single-threaded. The overhead of a
semaphore per-method is eliminated.

Split acpi_format_exception into two parts. New
function is acpi_ut_verify_exception and will be used to
verify exception codes returned by user.

Change for GPE support: when a wake GPE is
received, now all wake GPEs are immediately disabled to
prevent the waking GPE from firing again, and to prevent
other wake GPEs from interrupting the wake process.

The Table Manager component has been completely
redesigned and reimplemented. The new design is much
simpler, and reduces the overall code and data size of
the kernel-resident ACPICA by approximately 5%. Also,
it is now possible to obtain the ACPI tables very early
during kernel initialization, even before dynamic memory
management is initialized.

Completed a new design and implementation for
the ACPI Global Lock support. On the OS side, the global
lock is now treated as a standard AML mutex. Previously,
multiple OS threads could acquire the global lock
simultaneously, but this could cause the BIOS to be starved
by the lock in cases such as the Embedded Controller driver,
where there is a tight coupling between the OS and the BIOS.

Some of the ACPI devices use the internal fake hids
which are exposed to userspace as devces' bus_id after sysfs conversion.
To make it more friendly, we convert them to more understandable strings.
For those devices w/o PNPids, we use "device:instance_no" as the bus_id
instead of "PNPIDNON:instance_no".

We have some new larger ia64 systems in HP that trip over the
ACPI_MAX_REFERENCE_COUNT limit which triggers a large number of these
debug messages:
ACPI Warning (utdelete-0397): Large Reference Count (XXX) in object e0000a0ff6797ab0 [20060707]
This was increased once in the past as described in this very brief thread:
