/*
* Maximum value of the validation_count field in struct acpi_table_desc.
* When reached, validation_count cannot be changed any more and the table will
* be permanently regarded as validated.
*
* This is to prevent situations in which unbalanced table get/put operations
* may cause premature table unmapping in the OS to happen.
*
* The maximum validation count can be defined to any value, but should be
* greater than the maximum number of OS early stage mapping slots to avoid
* leaking early stage table mappings to the late stage.
