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.

Implemented header file support for the following
additional ACPI tables: ASF!, BOOT, CPEP, DBGP, MCFG, SPCR,
SPMI, TCPA, and WDRT. With this support, all current and
known ACPI tables are now defined in the ACPICA headers and
are available for use by device drivers and other software.
Implemented support to allow tables that contain ACPI
names with invalid characters to be loaded. Previously,
this would cause the table load to fail, but since
there are several known cases of such tables on
existing machines, this change was made to enable
ACPI support for them. Also, this matches the
behavior of the Microsoft ACPI implementation.

Fixed a couple regressions introduced during the memory
optimization in the 20060317 release. The namespace
node definition required additional reorganization and
an internal datatype that had been changed to 8-bit was
restored to 32-bit. (Valery Podrezov)
Fixed a problem where a null pointer passed to
acpi_ut_delete_generic_state() could be passed through
to acpi_os_release_object which is unexpected. Such
null pointers are now trapped and ignored, matching
the behavior of the previous implementation before the
deployment of acpi_os_release_object(). (Valery Podrezov,
Fiodor Suietov)
Fixed a memory mapping leak during the deletion of
a SystemMemory operation region where a cached memory
mapping was not deleted. This became a noticeable problem
for operation regions that are defined within frequently
used control methods. (Dana Meyers)
Reorganized the ACPI table header files into two main
files: one for the ACPI tables consumed by the ACPICA core,
and another for the miscellaneous ACPI tables that are
consumed by the drivers and other software. The various
FADT definitions were merged into one common section and
three different tables (ACPI 1.0, 1.0+, and 2.0)

Implemented the use of a cache object for all internal
namespace nodes. Since there are about 1000 static nodes
in a typical system, this will decrease memory use for
cache implementations that minimize per-allocation overhead
(such as a slab allocator.)
Removed the reference count mechanism for internal
namespace nodes, since it was deemed unnecessary. This
reduces the size of each namespace node by about 5%-10%
on all platforms. Nodes are now 20 bytes for the 32-bit
case, and 32 bytes for the 64-bit case.
Optimized several internal data structures to reduce
object size on 64-bit platforms by packing data within
the 64-bit alignment. This includes the frequently used
ACPI_OPERAND_OBJECT, of which there can be ~1000 static
instances corresponding to the namespace objects.
Added two new strings for the predefined _OSI method:
"Windows 2001.1 SP1" and "Windows 2006".
Split the allocation tracking mechanism out to a separate
file, from utalloc.c to uttrack.c. This mechanism appears
to be only useful for application-level code. Kernels may
wish to not include uttrack.c in distributions.
Removed all remnants of the obsolete ACPI_REPORT_* macros
and the associated code. (These macros have been replaced
by the ACPI_ERROR and ACPI_WARNING macros.)

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.

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.

Fixed three cases in the interpreter where an "index"
argument to an ASL function was still (internally) 32
bits instead of the required 64 bits. This was the Index
argument to the Index, Mid, and Match operators.
The "strupr" function is now permanently local
(acpi_ut_strupr), since this is not a POSIX-defined
function and not present in most kernel-level C
libraries. References to the C library strupr function
have been removed from the headers.
Completed the deployment of static
functions/prototypes. All prototypes with the static
attribute have been moved from the headers to the owning
C file.

An error is now generated if an attempt is made to create
a Buffer Field of length zero (A CreateField with a length
operand of zero.)
The interpreter now issues a warning whenever executable
code at the module level is detected during ACPI table
load. This will give some idea of the prevalence of this
type of code.
Implemented support for references to named objects (other
than control methods) within package objects.
Enhanced package object output for the debug
object. Package objects are now completely dumped, showing
all elements.
Enhanced miscellaneous object output for the debug
object. Any object can now be written to the debug object
(for example, a device object can be written, and the type
of the object will be displayed.)
The "static" qualifier has been added to all local
functions across the core subsystem.
The number of "long" lines (> 80 chars) within the source
has been significantly reduced, by about 1/3.
Cleaned up all header files to ensure that all CA/iASL
functions are prototyped (even static functions) and the
formatting is consistent.
Two new header files have been added, acopcode.h and
acnames.h.
Removed several obsolete functions that were no longer
used.

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!
