      Completed a major overhaul of the Resource Manager code -
      specifically, optimizations in the area of the AML/internal
      resource conversion code. The code has been optimized to
      simplify and eliminate duplicated code, CPU stack use has
      been decreased by optimizing function parameters and local
      variables, and naming conventions across the manager have
      been standardized for clarity and ease of maintenance (this
      includes function, parameter, variable, and struct/typedef
      names.)
      
      All Resource Manager dispatch and information tables have
      been moved to a single location for clarity and ease of
      maintenance. One new file was created, named "rsinfo.c".
      
      The ACPI return macros (return_ACPI_STATUS, etc.) have
      been modified to guarantee that the argument is
      not evaluated twice, making them less prone to macro
      side-effects. However, since there exists the possibility
      of additional stack use if a particular compiler cannot
      optimize them (such as in the debug generation case),
      the original macros are optionally available.  Note that
      some invocations of the return_VALUE macro may now cause
      size mismatch warnings; the return_UINT8 and return_UINT32
      macros are provided to eliminate these. (From Randy Dunlap)
      
      Implemented a new mechanism to enable debug tracing for
      individual control methods. A new external interface,
      acpi_debug_trace(), is provided to enable this mechanism. The
      intent is to allow the host OS to easily enable and disable
      tracing for problematic control methods. This interface
      can be easily exposed to a user or debugger interface if
      desired. See the file psxface.c for details.
      
      acpi_ut_callocate() will now return a valid pointer if a
      length of zero is specified - a length of one is used
      and a warning is issued. This matches the behavior of
      acpi_ut_allocate().
