+ * FUNCTION:    acpi_ex_do_concatenate
+ *
+ * PARAMETERS:  operand0            - First source object
+ *              operand1            - Second source object
+ *              actual_return_desc  - Where to place the return object
+ *              walk_state          - Current walk state
+ *
+ * RETURN:      Status
+ *
+ * DESCRIPTION: Concatenate two objects with the ACPI-defined conversion
+ *              rules as necessary.
+ * NOTE:
+ * Per the ACPI spec (up to 6.1), Concatenate only supports Integer,
+ * String, and Buffer objects. However, we support all objects here
+ * as an extension. This improves the usefulness of both Concatenate
+ * and the Printf/Fprintf macros. The extension returns a string
+ * describing the object type for the other objects.
+ * 02/2016.
