2009-12-15ACPICA: Predefined name repair: automatically remove null package elementsBob Moore
This change will automatically remove embedded and trailing NULL package elements from returned package objects that are defined to containe a variable number of sub-packages. The driver is then presented with a package with no null elements to deal with.

2009-12-15ACPICA: Remove messages if predefined repair(s) are successfulBob Moore
Repair mechanism was considered too wordy. Now, messages are only unconditionally emitted if the return object cannot be repaired. Existing messages for successful repairs were converted to ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT messages for now.

2009-12-15ACPICA: Add repair for bad _FDE/_GTM buffersBob Moore
The expected return value for both names is a Buffer of 5 DWORDS. This repair fixes two possible problems (both seen in the field): A package of integers is returned, or a buffer of BYTEs is returned.
