ACPICA: Add repair for bad _MAT buffers
_MAT can inadvertently return an Integer instead of a Buffer if the return value has been read from a Field whose width is less than or equal to the global integer width (32 or 64 bits). ACPICA BZ 810. http://www.acpica.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=810 Signed-off-by: Lin Ming <ming.m.lin@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Bob Moore <robert.moore@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
