Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/2] ACPICA: Updates for auto-serialization mechanism.

It is reported that the auto-serialization mechanism has broken some
machine.  A patch in this series tries to fix the reported issue, it is
sent to the reporter for verification, thus marked as RFC.

Since this feature may still need to be validated, we can disable it
temporarily in order not to break users.  The patch to make it default
disabled is also marked as RFC.  We can determine if it is needed according
to the verification result.
