[PATCH 0/2] re-work iASL backend

[Colin Ian King]

This extensive fix which took a lot of engineering effort to get working
correctly has been sitting here since *May*.  Can it be applied some
time real soon as I'd like to continue working on this code area.

Actually, some urgency on any patches sent to this list has been lacking
of late. I realize code review and applying patches is time consuming,
but it's also a waste of effort if these patches get reviewed and never
applied.

Thanks!

Colin
