Add OS layer ACPI mutex and threading support.
 - Temporary fix a bug of Intel ACPI CA core code.
 - Add OS layer ACPI mutex support.  This can be disabled by
   specifying option ACPI_NO_SEMAPHORES.
 - Add ACPI threading support.  Now that we have a dedicate taskqueue for
   ACPI tasks and more ACPI task threads can be created by specifying option
   ACPI_MAX_THREADS.
 - Change acpi_EvaluateIntoBuffer() behavior slightly to reuse given
   caller's buffer unless AE_BUFFER_OVERFLOW occurs.  Also CM battery's
   evaluations were changed to use acpi_EvaluateIntoBuffer().
 - Add new utility function acpi_ConvertBufferToInteger().
 - Add simple locking for CM battery and temperature updating.
 - Fix a minor problem on EC locking.
 - Make the thermal zone polling rate to be changeable.
 - Change minor things on AcpiOsSignal(); in ACPI_SIGNAL_FATAL case,
   entering Debugger is easier to investigate the problem rather than panic.
