DBG2 table needs a dummy OEM Data: field to work around a bug in iasl parser.
Nice addition; I tend to forget adding console= on the cmdline :).
Has a bug report been filed (or does one already exist) at ACPICA? I can do that if it hasn't been done already; it's just when the OEM Data field is missing, yeah?
The compiler cannot handle an optional field that also happens to be the last field as far as I can see. I did not realise acpica had a bugzilla.

No worries; it's not like they broadcast that fact :). Do you want me to file the bug, or do you have time?
Ill try and get round to it because I should be able to remember the code lines where it goes wrong.
