3a58176e4f ACPICA: Remove messages if predefined repair(s) are successful
Repair mechanism was considered too wordy. Now, messages are only
unconditionally emitted if the return object cannot be repaired.
Existing messages for successful repairs were converted to
ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT messages for now. ACPICA BZ 827.

34c39c7553 ACPICA: Add repair for bad _FDE/_GTM buffers
The expected return value for both names is a Buffer of 5 DWORDS.
This repair fixes two possible problems (both seen in the field):
A package of integers is returned, or a buffer of BYTEs is returned.
