From: Bob Moore <robert.moore@xxxxxxxxx>
This message happens when the package element list is longer than
the declared length of the package. Changed to an info message
because this condition is not actually an error. It is caused by
the BIOS attempting to truncate the package on the fly by adjusting
the package element count at the start of the package definition.
