[PATCH 1/2] x86: acpi: Fix calculation of DSDT length

Currently, the calculation for the length of the DSDT table includes any bytes that are added for alignment, but those bytes are not initialized.
This is because the DSDT length is calculated after a call to acpi_inc_align(). Split this up into the following sequence:
* acpi_inc() * Calculate DSDT length * acpi_align()

Add a missing memset to acpi_create_spcr().
The other acpi_create_xxxx() functions perform a memset on their structures, acpi_create_spcr() does not and as a result the contents of this table are partly uninitialized (and thus random after every reset).

For further thought, I do wonder if acpi_fill_header() should do the memset, if sizeof() could be passed as a parameter?

Ah, it is against series not yet applied?

No, the patch is against master. But I could not point to a specific commit that is fixed, the code in question is a result of multiple commits.
Because of this I have also sent V2 without a Fixes tags.

Hmm... Usually in kernel we put a chain of Fixes in such cases.
