Subject: [PATCH 11/18] ACPICA: Disassembler: Add Switch/Case disassembly support

From: "David E. Box" <david.e.box@...ux.intel.com>

ACPICA commit 0f6cc80e8af519a3c31184367b0a9be7a399cf53

iasl compiles Switch/Case statements into a single iteration While
loop with If/Else statements. This patch adds support to recognize
this generated compiler output and disassemble it back to the original
Switch statement.

Linux kernel is not affected by this patch.
