We need to know the precise behaviour of Windows in this case. It's
clearly using the 32-bit values by default, but we are currently unsure
whether it's taking them from the FADT pointed to by the RSDT or the
XSDT. My patch assumes the latter. I suspect that this is better than
Linux's current behaviour and so I think we should push it anyway
(though perhaps not until the 2.6.29 timeframe), but confirmation as to
its correctness would be helpful.
