Subject: RE: [PATCH 1/1] -  increase acpi owner_id max

The OwnerId field within a namespace node is 8 bits, and this is the
main constraint on the maximum OwnerId. You can't simply bump up the
number of owner ids without changing this field.

If we need more than 255 owner Ids, the width of this field will have to
be increased, or we will need to use a pointer for the field in order to
maintain a linked list of all nodes owned by a particular owner.
