This change enhances the performance of namespace searches and walks
by adding a backpointer to the parent in each namespace node. On large
namespaces, this change can improve overall ACPI performance by up to 9X.
Adding a pointer to each namespace node increases the overall size of
the internal namespace by about 5%, since each namespace entry usually
consists of both a namespace node and an ACPI operand object.

Always use 0x prefix for hex output, use %u for integer output (all
integers are unsigned.)
Affects ACPI_INFO, ACPI_ERROR, ACPI_WARNING, and ACPI_EXCEPTION.
ACPICA BZ 835.
Add 2010 copyright to all module headers and signons, including the Linux
header. This affects virtually every file in the ACPICA core subsystem,
iASL compiler, and all utilities.
Add 2009 copyright to all module headers and signons, including the Linux
header. This affects virtually every file in the ACPICA core subsystem,
iASL compiler, and all utilities.
1) Clear external list generated by Scope in external tables
2) Set node owner id only if it satisfies all the following conditions
a. Not a predefined node, _SB_ etc.
b. Not the root node
c. Not a node created by Scope
3) Precise object types for External statements, for example
- External (\_PR_.CPU0, DeviceObj)
+ External (\_PR_.CPU0, ProcessorObj)
acpi.h now includes only the "public" acpica headers. All other
acpica headers are "private" and should not be included by acpica
users. One new file, accommon.h is used to include the commonly
used private headers for acpica code generation. Future plans are
to move all private headers to a new subdirectory.
Removed the "$Revision" number that appeared in each module header.
This version number was useful under SourceSafe and CVS, but has no
meaning under git. It is not only incorrect, it could also be
misleading.
Implemented a change/cleanup for the handling of invalid ACPI names. Names are now validated and repaired only when 1) entering a new name into the namespace and 2) disassembling a named AML opcode. A warning is only displayed in debug mode or when the interpreter is in "strict" mode, since some working machines do in fact contain invalid ACPI names.
Added 2008 copyright to all module headers and signons. This affects virtually every file in the ACPICA core subsystem, iASL compiler, and the utilities.
Added 2007 copyright to all module headers and signons. This affects virtually every file in the ACPICA core subsystem, iASL compiler, and the utilities.
Fixed a problem with a possible race condition between threads executing AcpiWalkNamespace and the AML interpreter. This condition was removed by modifying AcpiWalkNamespace to (by default) ignore all temporary namespace entries created during any concurrent control method execution
