I've added additional comments for v4.  I strongly believe that even if
another vendor does do this differently for their implementation of
\\_SB.AMAC this code will be safe to run.

All of the output from the field are tested for exactly what the field
should look like.

That said, I would be highly surprised if Realtek decided to implement
with another OEM differently.  It would increase their code complexity
on Windows as well since this is part of the generic driver.
