Lin Ming e899b6485c ACPICA: disable _BIF warning
A generic work-around from ACPICA is in the queue,
but since Linux has a work-around in its battery
driver, we can disable this warning now.

Allow _BIF method to return an Package with Buffer elements

Bob Moore 95a28ed086 ACPICA: Allow _WAK method to return an Integer
This can happen if the _WAK method returns nothing (as per ACPI
1.0) but does return an integer if the implicit return mechanism
is enabled.  This is the only method that has this problem,
since it is also defined to return a package of two integers
(ACPI 1.0b+). In all other cases, if a method returns an object
when one was not expected, no warning is issued.

Bob Moore e8707b340f ACPICA: New: Validation for predefined ACPI methods/objects
Validates predefined ACPI objects that appear in the namespace,
at the time they are evaluated. The argument count and the type of
the returned object are validated. The purpose of this validation
is to detect problems with the BIOS-exposed predefined ACPI objects
before the results are returned to the ACPI-related drivers.
