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)
