From: Bob Moore <robert.mo...@intel.com> ACPICA commit c0ce529e1fbb8ec47d2522a3aa10f3ab77e16e41
There is no reference counting implemented for struct acpi_namespace_node, so it is currently not removable during runtime. This patch changes the namespace override code to keep the old struct acpi_namespace_node undeleted so that the override mechanism can happen during runtime. Bob Moore.
