This reverts 977a6226feae3e2c10a4d8227625ff0f04b49239
and reverts 1ba753acb372c2955a4843302e92e49ce82e2fea
and updates acpi_ev_queue_notify_request()
to restore the previous implementation of the
"acpi_serialize" workaround.

ACPI AML supports "serialized" methods which are protected
by an implicit mutex.  The mutex is re-entrant for that AML thread
to allow recursion.

However, Linux implements notify() by creating a new AML thread.
So for systems where notify() re-enters a serialized method,
deadlock results.

The fix is to use the Linux thread_id as the key to allowing
re-entrancy, not the AML thread pointer.

Added 2007 copyright to all module headers and signons. This affects
virtually every file in the ACPICA core subsystem, iASL compiler,
and the utilities.

Support for 16-bit ACPICA has been completely removed since it is
no longer necessary and it clutters the code. All 16-bit macros,
types, and conditional compiles have been removed, cleaning up
and simplifying the code across the entire subsystem.
DOS support is no longer needed since the Linux firmware kit
is now available.

Optimized the Load operator in the case where the source operand is an
operation region. Simply map the operation region memory, instead of
performing a bytewise read.
