OK, will change it.

Yes, I use the signature to decide the size of EFI table.
It's used here:
+	size = efi_64 ? sizeof(efi_config_table_64_t) :
+			sizeof(efi_config_table_32_t);

I think not normal, to make sure the code run normally.
We will use it below like: i < systab->nr_tables, if
systab is wrong, the code will fail to work.

Got it, will clean the type cast.
