Please excuse me for this. My first try was just an RFC to show the
"basic idea" - as if it's so much large idea :), it wasn't my intention
to ask for comments about the code itself, I said "_something_ of
this theme". And I should have Cc'd you on my real submission too,
obviously, which I somehow overlooked. I should be more careful.

I intentionally did not implement reporting, because it needs to be
done using generic "error reporting" infrastructure which I haven't
learned yet ;)

Aha, one more case which I didn't spot, thanks! :)

Um. This is jus too much. I've a better idea, with less code: after
loading the table, do a memcpy() into a local acpi_table_header
structure, perform all stuff there without the need of these #defines,
and copy it back at the end right before the checksum.
This way, we eliminate the defines, eliminate unaligned access, and
eliminate the need for these uint16 variables too.
I'll cook it in a few minutes, is that ok?
It's just too much (IMHO anyway) for such a little function which
is used so unfrequently :)

This is something about which checkpatch.pl complains, telling
there should be a space before "*" in (uint16_t*) ;)
Thank you!
