54  *
55  * This module validates predefined ACPI objects that appear in the namespace,
56  * at the time they are evaluated (via acpi_evaluate_object). The purpose of this
57  * validation is to detect problems with BIOS-exposed predefined ACPI objects
58  * before the results are returned to the ACPI-related drivers.
59  *
60  * There are several areas that are validated:
61  *
62  *  1) The number of input arguments as defined by the method/object in the
63  *      ASL is validated against the ACPI specification.
64  *  2) The type of the return object (if any) is validated against the ACPI
65  *      specification.
66  *  3) For returned package objects, the count of package elements is
67  *      validated, as well as the type of each package element. Nested
68  *      packages are supported.
69  *
70  * For any problems found, a warning message is issued.
