176  * PARAMETERS:  WalkState       - Current walk state
177  *              Op              - Parser object to be translated
178  *              ElementCount    - Number of elements in the package - this is
179  *                                the NumElements argument to Package()
180  *              ObjDescPtr      - Where the ACPI internal object is returned
181  *
182  * RETURN:      Status
183  *
184  * DESCRIPTION: Translate a parser Op package object to the equivalent
185  *              namespace object
186  *
187  * NOTE: The number of elements in the package will be always be the NumElements
188  * count, regardless of the number of elements in the package list. If
189  * NumElements is smaller, only that many package list elements are used.
190  * if NumElements is larger, the Package object is padded out with
191  * objects of type Uninitialized (as per ACPI spec.)
192  *
193  * Even though the ASL compilers do not allow NumElements to be smaller
194  * than the Package list length (for the fixed length package opcode), some
195  * BIOS code modifies the AML on the fly to adjust the NumElements, and
196  * this code compensates for that. This also provides compatibility with
197  * other AML interpreters.
