Tested on x86_64 and x86_gcc2, works on my machine and most likely fixes that was most likely due to missing lock sync in previous ACPI upgrade. * Redid some of kallisti5's work as it was easier to start from earlier version. * Evaluating 64 bit physical addressing on 32 bit Haiku again as this was likely the cause of pagefaults (#12377): "Implemented internal support for full 64-bit addresses that appear in all Generic Address Structure (GAS) structures. Previously, only the lower 32 bits were used. Affects the use of GAS structures in the FADT and other tables, as well as the GAS structures passed to the AcpiRead and AcpiWrite public external interfaces that are used by drivers. Lv Zheng." * Mostly bugfixes in ACPICA

Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.
Goals
- Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
- Clean, clear, concise code.
- Unified desktop environment.
Trying Haiku
Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.
