Subject: [PATCH 14/14] ACPI 2.0 / AML: Fix module level execution by correctly parsing table as TermList

This experiment follows de-facto standard behavior, parsing entire
table as a single TermList, so that all module level executions are
possible during the table loading.

If regressions are found against the enabling of this fix, this patch is
the only one should get bisected. Please report the regressions to the
kernel bugzilla for further root causing.
