/******************************************************************************* * * FUNCTION: AcpiNsValidateHandle * * PARAMETERS: Handle - Handle to be validated and typecast to a * namespace node. * * RETURN: A pointer to a namespace node * * DESCRIPTION: Convert a namespace handle to a namespace node. Handles special * cases for the root node. * * NOTE: Real integer handles would allow for more verification * and keep all pointers within this subsystem - however this introduces * more overhead and has not been necessary to this point. Drivers * holding handles are typically notified before a node becomes invalid * due to a table unload. * ******************************************************************************/
