  * DESCRIPTION: Acquire the ACPI Global Lock
  *
+ * Note: Allows callers with the same thread ID to acquire the global lock
+ * multiple times. In other words, externally, the behavior of the global lock
+ * is identical to an AML mutex. On the first acquire, a new handle is
+ * returned. On any subsequent calls to acquire by the same thread, the same
+ * handle is returned.
