IMHO your original patch was better - rsdt_table->length is an
uint32_t, and sizeof() evaluates to size_t, but we're assigning
to a local  tables_nr that is a signed int. So tables_nr would
be better declared as size_t.  That would mean the assert can
just be removed entirely, or replaced by an assert that
rsdt_table->length > sizeof(AcpiRsdtDescriptorRev1) if we're
concerned about that
