Since now that dm targets in NetBSD have ->info() for "status",
->status() should be renamed to ->table() for "table",
given how dm target status was originally designed in Linux kernel.

The header must appear below 32k offset in the kernel file, but we
have to make sure it does not load at low addresses, otherwise we
break BIOS boot.
.text section used to load at 0x200000, we just load multiboot section
there, and have .text loaded just after.
tripped up 'active lock in free' checks, and perhaps
lead to other lock corruption. (crash with un-init lock
in arpresolve that does not make sense now seems to not
occur either.)
rbtree page lookup was introduced during the NetBSD 5.0 development cycle to
bypass lock contention problems with the (then) global page hash, and was a
temporary solution to allow us to make progress.radixtree is the intended
replacement.

The way dm_table_status_ioctl() implements "status" and "table" is
not compatible with Linux kernel. Some targets have different outputs
that "status" can't be implemented as subset of "table".
Add ->info() handler to sync with "status" behavior in Linux kernel.
Some targets which currently exist in NetBSD (I think striped)
as well as some minor targets that I plan to port to NetBSD
can/should implement ->info(), but will do that in a different commit.

13 December 2019. Summary of changes for version 20191213:
1) ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem:
Return a Buffer object for all fields created via the CreateField operator. Previously, an Integer would be returned if the size of the field was less than or equal to the current size of an Integer. Although this goes against the ACPI specification, it provides compatibility with other ACPI implementations. Also updated the ASLTS test suite to reflect this new behavior.
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and ACPICA tools:
iASL: Implemented detection of (and throw an error for) duplicate values for Case statements within a single Switch statement. Duplicate Integers, Strings, and Buffers are supported.
iASL: Fix error logging issue during multiple file compilation -- Switch to the correct input file during error node creation.
iASL: For duplicate named object creation, now emit an error instead of a warning - since this will cause a runtime error.
AcpiSrc: Add unix line-ending support for non-Windows builds.
iASL: Add an error condition for an attempt to create a NameString with > 255 NameSegs (the max allowable via the AML definition).

18 October 2019. Summary of changes for version 20191018:
1) ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem:
Debugger: added a new command: ?Fields [address space ID]?. This command
dumps the contents of all field units that are defined within the
namespace with a particular address space ID.
Modified the external interface AcpiLoadTable() to return a table index.
This table index can be used for unloading a table for debugging.
ACPI_STATUS
AcpiLoadTable (
ACPI_TABLE_HEADER *Table,
UINT32 *TableIndex))
Implemented a new external interface: AcpiUnloadTable() This new function
takes a table index as an argument and unloads the table. Useful for
debugging only.
ACPI_STATUS
AcpiUnloadTable (
UINT32 TableIndex))
Ported the AcpiNames utility to use the new table initialization
sequence. The utility was broken before this change. Also, it was
required to include most of the AML interpreter into the utility in order
to process table initialization (module-level code execution.)
Update for results from running Clang V8.0.1. This fixes all "dead
assignment" warnings. There are still several "Dereference of NULL
pointer" warnings, but these have been found to be false positive
warnings.
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and ACPICA tools:
iASL: numerous table compiler changes to ensure that the usage of
yacc/bison syntax is POSIX-compliant.
iASL/disassembler: several simple bug fixes in the data table
disassembler.
Acpiexec: expanded the initialization file (the -fi option) to initialize
strings, buffers, packages, and field units.
