Turned out that an extra crit_exit() in objcache_reclaimlist() appears
to be the cause of this lock up, and the machine now boots up fine
without ACPI_USE_LOCAL_CACHE.
I also updated to use the most recent version of ACPI-CA code.

Still TODO items:
 - `can't fetch resources for XXXX - AE_TYPE` messages.
 - `AE_TIME, Could not acquire Global Lock` messages. (reported by victor@)
 - make AcpiOs*Lock() interface callable from interrupt context or
   idle thread (if possible).

Cheers.
