 Allocate buf[6] instead of buf[5] to work around buggy firmware, which may
 write mementry to 24 bytes instead 20 requested with ACPI 3.0 enabled,
 causing corrupted stack and wrong marks[] values in common_load_kernel().
 
 This in turn was leading to erroneous caluclations and memory addresses.
 
 This eventually may result in null pointer dereference in the kernel and sudden
 reboot for VIA based systems.
 
 Commit should fix boot issues for VIA C7-M based HP 2133 Mini-Note,
 mentioned in the original bug report. For AMD based HP Compaq 6005 Pro
 discussed in a separate thread, the issue may be different.
 
 Tested on my VIA C7-D based Biostar Viotech 3100+ motherboard.
