You're right, I did miss the corresponding encoding change.  I'll
add that.  I feel a bit uneasy about it, though, because it will be
a fair amount of code, and I don't know how to test it.  Do we ever
really use _SRS today?  And there's information lost when decoding
the ACPI resources, such as the _TRA.
