Subject: [PATCH] EDD: Check for correct EDD 3.0 length

There are two competing EDD 3.0 specifications,
the original one from Phoenix
<http://mbldr.sourceforge.net/specsedd30.pdf>
and the T-13 approved one
<http://www.t13.org/documents/UploadedDocuments/docs2004/d1572r3-EDD3.pdf>

They differ in the length of the device_path field, which
is one quad word for the Phoenix spec and two quad words
for the T-13 spec. So we need to test for both lengths
and blank out the second quad word when a Phoenix
version is detected.
