Removed a device initialization optimization introduced in
20051216 where the _STA method was not run unless an _INI
was also present for the same device. This optimization
could cause problems because it could allow _INI methods
to be run within a not-present device subtree (If a
not-present device had no _INI, _STA would not be run,
the not-present status would not be discovered, and the
children of the device would be incorrectly traversed.)
Implemented a new _STA optimization where namespace
subtrees that do not contain _INI are identified and
ignored during device initialization. Selectively running
_STA can significantly improve boot time on large machines
(with assistance from Len Brown.)
Implemented support for the device initialization case
where the returned _STA flags indicate a device not-present
but functioning. In this case, _INI is not run, but the
device children are examined for presence, as per the
ACPI specification.
Implemented an additional change to the IndexField support
in order to conform to MS behavior. The value written to
the Index Register is not simply a byte offset, it is a
byte offset in units of the access width of the parent
Index Field. (Fiodor Suietov)
Defined and deployed a new OSL interface,
acpi_os_validate_address(). This interface is called during
the creation of all AML operation regions, and allows
the host OS to exert control over what addresses it will
allow the AML code to access. Operation Regions whose
addresses are disallowed will cause a runtime exception
when they are actually accessed (will not affect or abort
table loading.)
Defined and deployed a new OSL interface,
acpi_os_validate_interface(). This interface allows the host OS
to match the various "optional" interface/behavior strings
for the _OSI predefined control method as appropriate
(with assistance from Bjorn Helgaas.)
Restructured and corrected various problems in the
exception handling code paths within DsCallControlMethod
and DsTerminateControlMethod in dsmethod (with assistance
from Takayoshi Kochi.)
Modified the Linux source converter to ignore quoted string
literals while converting identifiers from mixed to lower
case. This will correct problems with the disassembler
and other areas where such strings must not be modified.
The ACPI_FUNCTION_* macros no longer require quotes around
the function name. This allows the Linux source converter
to convert the names, now that the converter ignores
quoted strings.

Tagged all external interfaces to the subsystem with the
new ACPI_EXPORT_SYMBOL macro. This macro can be defined
as necessary to assist kernel integration. For Linux,
the macro resolves to the EXPORT_SYMBOL macro. The default
definition is NULL.
Added the ACPI_THREAD_ID type for the return value from
acpi_os_get_thread_id(). This allows the host to define this
as necessary to simplify kernel integration. The default
definition is ACPI_NATIVE_UINT.
Valery Podrezov fixed two interpreter problems related
to error processing, the deletion of objects, and placing
invalid pointers onto the internal operator result stack.

Increased the reference count threshold where a warning is
emitted for large reference counts in order to eliminate
unnecessary warnings on systems with large namespaces
(especially 64-bit.) Increased the value from 0x400
to 0x800.
Due to universal disagreement as to the meaning of the
'c' in the calloc() function, the ACPI_MEM_CALLOCATE
macro has been renamed to ACPI_ALLOCATE_ZEROED so that the
purpose of the interface is 'clear'. ACPI_MEM_ALLOCATE and
ACPI_MEM_FREE are renamed to ACPI_ALLOCATE and ACPI_FREE.

Removed a couple of extraneous ACPI_ERROR messages that
appeared during normal execution. These became apparent
after the conversion from ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT.
Fixed a problem where the CreateField operator could hang
if the BitIndex or NumBits parameter referred to a named
object. From Valery Podrezov.

Fixed a problem where a DeRefOf operation on a buffer
object incorrectly failed with an exception. This also
fixes a couple of related RefOf and DeRefOf issues.

returned instead of AE_STRING_LIMIT on an out-of-bounds
Index() operation. From Valery Podrezov.

Implemented a memory cleanup at the end of the execution
of each iteration of an AML While() loop, preventing the
accumulation of outstanding objects. From Valery Podrezov.

Added 2006 copyright.
At SuSE's suggestion, enabled all error messages
without enabling function tracing, ie with CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG=n
Replaced all instances of the ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT macro invoked at
the ACPI_DB_ERROR and ACPI_DB_WARN debug levels with
the ACPI_REPORT_ERROR and ACPI_REPORT_WARNING macros,
respectively. This preserves all error and warning messages
in the non-debug version of the ACPICA code (this has been
referred to as the "debug lite" option.) Over 200 cases
were converted to create a total of over 380 error/warning
messages across the ACPICA code. This increases the code
and data size of the default non-debug version by about 13K.
Added ACPI_NO_ERROR_MESSAGES flag to enable deleting all messages.
The size of the debug version remains about the same.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
