[PATCH] ACPI / util: cast data to u64 before shifting to fix sign extension

[Colin King]

From: Colin Ian King <colin.k...@canonical.com>

obj->buffer.pointer[i] should be cast to u64 to prevent an unintentional
sign extension.  For example, if pointer[7] is 0x80, then the value
0xffffffffff000000 is or'd into mask rather than the intended value
0xff00000000000000
