According to the ACPI 6.5 specification the component Entry starts at
offset 36 in the XSDT table which is not a multiple of 8. Hence we must
mark the structure as packed.
We did not see an error due to the incorrect packing yet as in
acpi_tb_parse_root_table() we use ACPI_ADD_PTR() to find the address of
Entry.
