    ACPI: ACPICA 20060608 · 4c90ece2
    Bob Moore authored
    Converted the locking mutex used for the ACPI hardware
    to a spinlock. This change should eliminate all problems
    caused by attempting to acquire a semaphore at interrupt
    level, and it means that all ACPICA external interfaces
    that directly access the ACPI hardware can be safely
    called from interrupt level.
    
    Fixed a regression introduced in 20060526 where the ACPI
    device initialization could be prematurely aborted with
    an AE_NOT_FOUND if a device did not have an optional
    _INI method.
    
    Fixed an IndexField issue where a write to the Data
    Register should be limited in size to the AccessSize
    (width) of the IndexField itself. (BZ 433, Fiodor Suietov)
    
    Fixed problem reports (Valery Podrezov) integrated: - Allow
    store of ThermalZone objects to Debug object.

    Fixed problem reports (Fiodor Suietov) integrated: -
    acpi_get_table_header() doesn't handle multiple instances
    correctly (BZ 364)
    
    Removed four global mutexes that were obsolete and were
    no longer being used.
