ACPICA: Re-implement interpreters' "serialized mode"
Enhanced the implementation of the interpreters'
serialized mode (boot with "acpi_serialize" to set
acpi_glb_all_methods_serialized flag.)
When this mode is specified, instead of creating a serialization
semaphore per control method, the interpreter lock is
simply no longer released before a blocking operation
during control method execution. This effectively makes
the AML Interpreter single-threaded. The overhead of a
semaphore per-method is eliminated.
