kern/89879: [acpi] ACPI-0438: *** Error: Looking up [Z00C] in namespace, AE_NOT_FOUND

[Moore, Robert]

I'm still looking at a fix for this, to allow references within packages
to be passed around with no validation. It's a bit difficult given that
such references are currently validated against the namespace at the
moment they are parsed in the AML byte stream, with no regard to the
context of the reference.
