[PATCH 20/78] ACPICA: Fix possible buffer overflow during a field unit read operation

[Kamal Mostafa]

3.8.13.1 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Bob Moore <robert.moore@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 61388f9e5d93053cf399a356414f31f9b4814c6d upstream.

Can only happen under these conditions: 1) The DSDT version is 1,
meaning integers are 32-bits.  2) The field is between 33 and 64
bits long.

It applies cleanly back to ACPICA 20100806+ (Linux v2.6.37+).
