ACPI: utils: Dynamically determine acpi_handle_list size
Address a long-standing "TBD" comment in the ACPI headers regarding the number of handles in struct acpi_handle_list. The number 10, which along with the comment dates back to 2.4.23, seems like it may have been arbitrarily chosen and isn't sufficient in all cases [1]. Finally change the code to dynamically determine the size of the handles table in struct acpi_handle_list and allocate it accordingly. Update the users of to struct acpi_handle_list to take the additional dynamic allocation into account.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
