Repair a common problem with objects that are defined to return
a variable-length Package of sub-objects. If there is only one
sub-object, some BIOS code mistakenly simply declares the single
object instead of a Package with one sub-object. This function
attempts to repair this error by wrapping a Package object around
the original object, creating the correct and expected Package
with one sub-object.

This change enhances the performance of namespace searches and
walks by adding a backpointer to the parent in each namespace
node. On large namespaces, this change can improve overall ACPI
performance by up to 9X. Adding a pointer to each namespace node
increases the overall size of the internal namespace by about 5%,
since each namespace entry usually consists of both a namespace
node and an ACPI operand object.

For the predefined methods that return fixed-length packages
(or subpackages), attempt repair for a NULL element. Create an
Integer of value 0, a NULL String, or a zero-length buffer as
appropriate.

This change will automatically remove embedded and trailing NULL
package elements from returned package objects that are defined
to containe a variable number of sub-packages. The driver is then
presented with a package with no null elements to deal with.

Fixes a problem where a predefined method is defined to return
a variable-length Package of sub-packages. If the length is one,
the BIOS code occasionally creates a simple single package with
no sub-packages. This code attempts to fix the problem by wrapping
a new package object around the existing package. ACPICA BZ 790.
