Len:

The following two item patch series fixes a calculation in
./drivers/acpi/tables/tbutils.c::acpi_tb_parse_root_table() that
determines how many ACPI table entries will be truncated when the
number of RSDT/XSDT entries is greater than the statically allocated
'initial_tables[]' array.

As currently implemented, the calculation will always yield a value
of 0.  The following output shows the issue (Note the line with
"...: Truncating ..." which incorrectly indicates 0):
  ACPI: RSDP 32A82014, 0024 (r2 HP    )
  ACPI: XSDT 32A82580, 0494 (r1 HP     XXXXXX          0       1000013)
  ACPI Error (tbinstal-0207): Resize of Root Table Array is not allowed [20070126]
  ACPI Warning (tbutils-0519): Truncating 0 table entries! [20070126]
  ACPI: FACP 32A6C000, 00F4 (r3 HP     XXXXXX          0   HP        0)
  ACPI: DSDT 32A52000, 8E83 (r2 HP     XXXXXX          8 INTL 20061109)
  ...

With the patch applied, the output correctly shows the number of
(missing) truncated entries:
  ACPI: RSDP 32A82014, 0024 (r2 HP    )
  ACPI: XSDT 32A82580, 0494 (r1 HP     XXXXXX          0       1000013)
  ACPI Error (tbinstal-0207): Resize of Root Table Array is not allowed [20070126]
  ACPI Warning (tbutils-0519): Truncating 5 table entries! [20070126]
  ACPI: FACP 32A6C000, 00F4 (r3 HP     XXXXXX          0   HP        0)
  ACPI: DSDT 32A52000, 8E83 (r2 HP     XXXXXX          8 INTL 20061109)
  ...


[PATCH 1/2] fixes the truncation message related calculation.

[PATCH 2/2] is non-functional white space fixes - 80 column adherence -
for the same file. 


The underlying code affected is common to both x86 and ia64.  I have
tested the patch on an ia64 platform.

All comments welcome.
