Dennis Noordsij f0e0da8a6c ACPICA: Copy dynamically loaded tables to local buffer
Previously, dynamically loaded tables were simply mapped, but on some machines
this memory is corrupted after suspend. Now copy the table to a local buffer.
For OpRegion case, added checksum verify. Use the table length from the table header,
not the region length. For Buffer case, use the table length also.

This reverts commit c0d127b569.

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.
