History: This support changes a method to "serialized" on the fly if the
method generates an AE_ALREADY_EXISTS error, indicating the possibility
that it cannot handle reentrancy.
This fix repairs a couple of issues seen in the field, especially on
machines with many cores.
1) Delete method children only upon the exit of the last thread, so
as to not delete objects out from under running threads.
2) Set the "serialized" bit for the method only upon the exit of the
last thread, so as to not cause deadlock when running threads attempt
to exit.
3) Cleanup the use of the AML "MethodFlags" and internal method flags
so that there is no longer any confustion between the two.

Add 2010 copyright to all module headers and signons, including
the Linux header. This affects virtually every file in the ACPICA
core subsystem, iASL compiler, and all utilities.

This change enables the execution of _REG methods that appear
in the same scope as the module-level code, in resonse to an
operation region declaration within the module-level code.

An object can be leaked for each block of executed module-level
code if the interpreter slack mode is enabled. The change deletes
any implicitly returned object in this case.

This change will execute module-level code that is not at the
root of the namespace (under a Device object, etc.).

Add limited support for executable AML code that exists outside
of any control method. This type of code has been illegal since
ACPI 2.0. The code must exist in an If/Else/While block. All AML
tables are supported, including tables that are dynamically loaded.

Removed some of the extraneous debug prints using the DB_INFO
level. This should make the DB_INFO more useful.
