Subject: [PATCH 20/30] ACPICA: iASL/Disassembler: Improve handling of unresolved methods

From: Bob Moore <robert.moore@...el.com>

ACPICA commit 16cd0872a070c8d3b16b8b13c1fc90a443a6b6fe

If the definition of a control method cannot be found (probably it
is in another module/SSDT), the disassembler must try to guess
at the number of arguments to that method. This change improves
the guessing heuristic.
