The ID mapping table structure of the IORT table describes the size of
a range using a num_ids field carrying the number of IDs in the region
minus one. This has been misinterpreted in the past in the parsing code,
and firmware is known to have shipped where this results in an ambiguity,
where regions that should be adjacent have an overlap of one value.

So let's work around this by detecting this case specifically: when
resolving an ID translation, allow one that matches right at the end of
a multi-ID region to be superseded by a subsequent one.

To prevent potential regressions on broken firmware that happened to
work before, only take the subsequent match into account if it occurs
at the start of a mapping region.

As we already applied a workaround here, can we add "applying
workaround" in the error message? This will make the customers
less uneasy to see such message in the boot log. Once the product
was deliveried to customers, it's not that easy to update all the
firmwares entirely.

I'm out of reach for D05/D06 hardware as it's holidays in China,
please allow me to test this patch set in Wednesday this week.

Thanks
Hanjun
