This patch is based on the recent patch from Vincent Minet. I split Vincent's
changes into 2 patches (to separate MADT and RSDT table cleanup, as suggested by
Marcelo) and added a bit to them. And to give credit where it is due, this
cleanup is also related to the patch Marcelo provided when the HPET addition tripped over the same problem. (Thanks again Marcelo :-)
This patch moves all the table layout calculations to the same area of
acpi_bios_init. This prevents corruption problems when, in the middle of
filling in the tables, the MADT table size grows. The idea is to do all the layout in one section, then fill things in afterwards. It also corrects a problem where the madt table was memset to 0 before the final size of the table had been determined.

You're just duplicating the override creation loop (with its internal if); if we update it, we'll have to update this too.

Why not set madt_end = int_override and calculate madt_size = madt_end - madt?
