Assertions in acpidump

[Jukka Ruohonen <drear%iki.fi@localhost>]

Hello,

this is not really a current issue, but acpidump fails to disassemble 
data from the BIOS of my laptop due two assertions:

diff -ur ./asl_dump.c.org ./asl_dump.c

This may be because of the comments that HP developers have included in 
their great wisdom:

/*
SLIC: Length=374, Revision=1, Checksum=171,
        OEMID=HPQOEM, OEM Table ID=SLIC-MPC, OEM Revision=0x1,
        Creator ID=HP, Creator Revision=0x1

 */

... and the list goes on and on at the end of the dump. I don't know if 
there is anything to fix really, but figured that this would be worth 
mentioning nevertheless.
