[Qemu-devel] [PULL 6/8] pc: future-proof migration-compatibility of ACPI tables

["Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@redhat.com>]

From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

This patch avoids that similar changes break QEMU again in the future.
QEMU will now hard-code 64k as the maximum ACPI table size, which
(despite being an order of magnitude smaller than 640k) should be enough
for everyone.
