That comment becomes wrong when you add this check here.

If we're going to have special local vars for the container header, then
do it right:

	cont_magic	= hdr[0];
	cont_type  	= hdr[1];
	equiv_tbl_len	= hdr[2];

and then use those from now on.

I think you want

	if (size < eqiv_tbl_len + CONTAINER_HDR_SZ)
		return size;

here to skip over the next, hopefully not truncated container.

All changes upto here need to be a separate patch.
install_equiv_cpu_table() changes below are the second patch.

unsigned int type, equiv_tbl_len;

More descriptive error messages:

Combine that test with the above one and use the same error message.
