Subject: [PATCH 1/2] iommu/vt-d: replace *hdr with hdr[0] in struct dmar_drhd_unit

hdr in struct dmar_drhd_unit is used to point the DMAR hardware unit copied
at the end of struct dmar_drhd_unit. One zero-sized array may be more
elegant for this purpose.

This patch replace *hdr with hdr[0] in struct dmar_drhd_unit.

Besides this, this patch includes other two changes:
1. remove unnecessary type cast in dmar_table_detect()
2. type cast from acpi_dmar_header to acpi_dmar_hardware_unit directly
