On acquiring the ACPI global lock, if there were sleepers on the lock,
we used to use acpi_os_execute() to defer a thread which would signal
sleepers. Now just signal the semaphore directly.

ACPI 3.0 appended a variable length UID string to the LAPIC structure
as part of support for > 256 processors. So the BAD_MADT_ENTRY() sanity
check can no longer compare for equality with a fixed structure length.
