ACPICA: Fix for Alias references within Package objects
This fixes a problem where a reference to an Alias within the definition of a Package was not always resolved properly. Aliases to objects like Processors, ThermalZones, etc. were resolved to the actual object instead of a reference to the object as it should be. Package objects are only allowed to contain integer, string, buffer, package, and reference objects. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=608648 Signed-off-by: Bob Moore <robert.moore@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Lin Ming <ming.m.lin@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
