ACPICA: Add repair for predefined methods that return nested packages
Fixes a problem where a predefined method is defined to return
a variable-length Package of sub-packages. If the length is one,
the BIOS code occasionally creates a simple single package with
no sub-packages. This code attempts to fix the problem by wrapping
a new package object around the existing package. ACPICA BZ 790.
