Really?

Why is only index 0 checked against the end of the table? Shouldn't
int be an invariant that all timer descriptions must not intersect
with the non-variable part of the GTDT table?

Surely, assuming that length isn't zero, if the last term is true, the
previous one also is? And what if it is 0?

Again, you cannot trust *anything* you find in the ACPI table.

You are also reinventing the wheel, and repeating some of the worse
constructs in this code. It would be much better to build on (and
augment) the existing primitives to make the code *readable* instead
of being this pointer soup. Believe it or not, there is some value in
abstracting things.

I came up with the patchlet below, very lightly tested on my
Synquacer. It may not be optimal, but given that this is used exactly
once per boot, I'm sure we can afford a few extra comparisons. It
makes the iterator robust, and then uses that to implement the checks.

	M.
