ACPICA: Add support for complex _PLD buffers.
_PLD (Physical Location of Device) returns a bit-packed buffer that
is difficult to parse. This change adds a new interface,
AcpiDecodePldBuffer that parses the buffer into a more usable
local struct. Also adds macros to both get and set individual
fields within the packed _PLD buffer. Adds a new include file,
acbuffer.h - which will be expanded to add structs for other
ACPI names that return buffers. ACPICA BZ 954.
Emit (in comments) the decoded contents of a static _PLD buffer
in order to improve comprehension of this bit-packed buffer.
Add multi-endian support to the _PLD decode routine. Deploy the
multi-endian macros to extract data from the _PLD buffer.
