* FUNCTION: acpi_ev_initialize_region
*
* PARAMETERS: region_obj - Region we are initializing
- * acpi_ns_locked - Is namespace locked?
*
* RETURN: Status
*
* MUTEX: Interpreter should be unlocked, because we may run the _REG
* method for this region.
*
+ * NOTE: Possible incompliance:
+ * There is a behavior conflict in automatic _REG execution:
+ * 1. When the interpreter is evaluating a method, we can only
+ * automatically run _REG for the following case:
+ * operation_region (OPR1, 0x80, 0x1000010, 0x4)
+ * 2. When the interpreter is loading a table, we can also
+ * automatically run _REG for the following case:
+ * operation_region (OPR1, 0x80, 0x1000010, 0x4)
+ * Though this may not be compliant to the de-facto standard, the
+ * logic is kept in order not to trigger regressions. And keeping
+ * this logic should be taken care by the caller of this function.
