Lin Ming 69ec87efa8 ACPICA: Add subsystem option to force copy of DSDT to local memory
Optionally copy the entire DSDT to local memory (instead of
simply mapping it.) There are some BIOSs that corrupt or replace
the original DSDT, creating the need for this option. Default is
FALSE, do not copy the DSDT.

Lin Ming 729df0f848 ACPICA: Add detection of corrupted/replaced DSDT
This change adds support to detect a DSDT that has been corrupted
and/or replaced from outside the OS (by firmware). This is
typically catastrophic for the system, but has been seen on
some machines.

Bob Moore 8a335a2331 ACPICA: Fix AcpiWalkNamespace race condition with table unload
Added a reader/writer locking mechanism to allow multiple
concurrent namespace walks (readers), but a dynamic table unload
will have exclusive access to the namespace. This fixes a problem
where a table unload could delete the portion of the namespace that
is currently being examined by a walk.  Adds a new file, utlock.c
that implements the reader/writer lock mechanism. ACPICA BZ 749.
