This change will automatically remove embedded and trailing NULL
package elements from returned package objects that are defined
to containe a variable number of sub-packages. The driver is then
presented with a package with no null elements to deal with.

Only attempt the "complex" repairs (package sorting, buffer
expansion) if the previous "generic" validation and repair was
successful.

The expected return value for both names is a Buffer of 5 DWORDS.
This repair fixes two possible problems (both seen in the field):
A package of integers is returned, or a buffer of BYTEs is returned.

Added one new package type, a package that contains a revision number and
a variable number of sub-packages. Restructured the module to
put the sub-package list traversal in a separate function.

Fixes a problem where a predefined method is defined to return
a variable-length Package of sub-packages. If the length is one,
the BIOS code occasionally creates a simple single package with
no sub-packages. This code attempts to fix the problem by wrapping
a new package object around the existing package. ACPICA BZ 790.

This fixes a problem where the code that attempts to repair/convert
an object of incorrect type is only executed on the first time the
predefined method is called. The mechanism that disables warnings
on subsequent calls was interfering with the repair mechanism.

Fixed a possible leak when an attempt is made to repair a return
object. The only current repair is an automatic buffer to string
conversion.

Fix dereference of possibly null pointer "Predefined" in the case
where the method is not one of the predefined methods.
