The calculation of the size of the table was incorrect (copy/pasta from grub_acpi_rsdt_find_table() I assume...). The entries are 64-bit long. This causes us to access beyond the end of the table which is causing crashes during boot on some systems. Typically this is causing a crash on VMWare when using UEFI and enabling serial autodetection, as grub_acpi_find_table (GRUB_ACPI_SPCR_SIGNATURE); will goes past the end of the table (the SPCR table doesn't exits).
