Bug Description

Binary package hint: fwts

The fwts method test falls into an interactive debug session when executing AML code from a DSDT that contains AML_BREAK_POINT_OP (0xcc) opcodes, requiring input via stdin and hence blocking automated testing.

The AcpiOsSignal() callback should disable single step debug by setting AcpiGbl_CmSingleStep to false on ACPI_SIGNAL_BREAKPOINT events so execution can continue.
