Hi,
Remove linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org from CC since the main info of this mail is that I pushed it to acpi git tree (patch has been already reviewed by Graeme, acked from my side as well).

The current version requires one to know the size of the package a priori; this is almost impossible if the package is composed of strings of variable length. This change allows the utility to allocate a buffer of the proper size if asked.
