 *
 * FUNCTION:    AcpiNsSearchAndEnter
 *
 * PARAMETERS:  EntryName           - Ascii ACPI name to search for (4 chars)
 *              *NameTable          - Starting table where search will begin
 *              InterpreterMode     - Add names only in MODE_LoadPassX.  Otherwise,
 *                                    search only.
 *              Type                - Object type to match
 *              **RetEntry          - Where the matched NTE is returned
 *
 * RETURN:      Status
 *
 * DESCRIPTION: Search for a name segment in a single name table,
 *              optionally adding it if it is not found.  If the passed
 *              Type is not Any and the type previously stored in the
 *              entry was Any (i.e. unknown), update the stored type.
 *
 *              In IMODE_EXECUTE, search only.
 *              In other modes, search and add if not found.
