This enables forward references and full operand resolution for
the three string arguments. Similar to OperationRegion deferred
argument execution.)

Allows AcpiAcquireGlobalLock external interface to be called
multiple times by the
 same thread. Allows use of AML fields that require the global
 lock while the running AML is already holding the global lock.

This reverts commit c0d127b56937c3e72c2b1819161d2f6718eee877.

These changes to AML locking were made to allow
Notify handlers to be called on the stack
and not deadlock.  However, that scheme turns
out to be flawed and was reverted by the previous commit,
so this commit restores the locking to it previous design.

Thus restoring ACPICA's new acpi_serialize code.

This commit by itself may cause a regression, but
it is reverted in this order so that subsequent
reverts reverts under this one can be made
without conflict.

ACPI AML supports "serialized" methods which are protected
by an implicit mutex.  The mutex is re-entrant for that AML thread
to allow recursion.

However, Linux implements notify() by creating a new AML thread.
So for systems where notify() re-enters a serialized method,
deadlock results.

The fix is to use the Linux thread_id as the key to allowing
re-entrancy, not the AML thread pointer.

<title>ACPICA: Re-implement interpreters' "serialized mode"</title>

<id>1ba753acb372c2955a4843302e92e49ce82e2fea</id>
<content type='text'>
Enhanced the implementation of the interpreters'
serialized mode (boot with "acpi_serialize" to set
acpi_glb_all_methods_serialized flag.)
When this mode is specified, instead of creating a serialization
semaphore per control method, the interpreter lock is
simply no longer released before a blocking operation
during control method execution. This effectively makes
the AML Interpreter single-threaded. The overhead of a
semaphore per-method is eliminated.
