This patch adds multi-commands support for the batch mode. The same mode can be seen in acpiexec. However people may think this is not useful for an in-kernel debugger, because the in-kernel debugger is always running, never exits. So we can run another command by running another acpidbg batch mode instance. But this mode should still be useful for acpidbg. The reason is: when the in-kernel debugger has entered the single-stepping mode, ending acpidbg (which closes the debugger IO interface) will lead to the end of the single-stepping mode. So we need the acpidbg multi-commands batch mode in order to execute multiple single-stepping mode commands in scripts.
An example would be really useful here IMO. Thanks, Rafael
