I think, in theory, that won't ever happen unless someone is using
an invalid ACPI ID as they 'must' be 8 chars (or a uint64_t which
would also be fine).  A bit of defensive programming seems
sensible though as there are known buggy real firmware's
that have invalid IDs so maybe one day someone will add one
of those to QEMU when we aren't paying attention.

I'll add a sanity check and treat such a value as an error.
It'll also act as documentation of the requirement.

if (strlen(hid) != sizeof(dev_handle.hid)) {
    error_printf("ACPI ID for generic port is not the expected 8 characters");
    exit(-1);	
}
