I'm not sure how else to express what I already said above: They simply
need to get (in ACPI spec terms) the FADT's X_PM1a_EVT_BLK in sync
with PM1_EVT_LEN (and they should at once make sure other
X_PM*_BLK and X_GPE?_BLK fields are in sync with their respective
legacy fields, too - while looking at the dump, it seemed there were more
inconsistencies).
