Hi Gerry,

There are two constants in the code.

#define ACPI_PCI_LINK_MAX_POSSIBLE	16

I changed the data type above. Previously it was consuming 16 bytes now 
64 bytes.

The second one is this.

#define ACPI_MAX_IRQS 256

I changed ACPI_MAX_IRQS to 1020 from 256. Let's assume 1024.

I'm concerned about this though since you warned. This used to consume 
1024 bytes now 4096 bytes.

static int acpi_irq_penalty[ACPI_MAX_IRQS] = {
	PIRQ_PENALTY_ISA_ALWAYS,	/* IRQ0 timer */
...
}
