Hi,

I imported the latest Intel's ACPI-CA to -current
If you notice any regression, please let me know or
send-pr.

No new feature is added in this release.

The changelog is attached below (from intel's site).

----------------------------------------
11 February 2004.  Summary of changes for version 20040211:

1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:

Completed investigation and implementation of the call-by-
reference mechanism for control method arguments.

Fixed a problem where a store of an object into an indexed
package could fail if the store occurs within a different method
than the method that created the package.

Fixed a problem where the ToDecimal operator could return
incorrect results.

Fixed a problem where the CopyObject operator could fail on some
of the more obscure objects (e.g., Reference objects.)

Improved the output of the Debug object to display buffer,
package, and index objects.

Fixed a problem where constructs of the form "RefOf (ArgX)" did
not return the expected result.

Added permanent ACPI_REPORT_ERROR macros for all instances of the
ACPI_AML_INTERNAL exception.

Integrated latest version of acfreebsd.h

----------------------------------------
16 January 2004.  Summary of changes for version 20040116:

The purpose of this release is primarily to update the copyright
years in each module, thus causing a huge number of diffs.  There
are a few small functional changes, however.

1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:

Improved error messages when there is a problem finding one or
more of the required base ACPI tables

Reintroduced the definition of APIC_HEADER in actbl.h

Changed definition of MADT_ADDRESS_OVERRIDE to 64 bits (actbl.h)

Removed extraneous reference to NewObj in dsmthdat.c

2) iASL compiler

Fixed a problem introduced in December that disabled the correct
disassembly of Resource Templates
