What isn't acpi compliant with the current calculation?
Currently, the length of PkgLength itself is hard-coded(third parameter of encodeLen). If the length of PkgLength must have strictly the relationship with package length as follow as in ACPI specification:
package length PkgLength 0-63 1 byte 64-4096(2^12) 2 bytes 4097-1048576(2^20) 3 bytes
1048576 4 bytes
then current calculation is not acpi-compliant. But if not, say, a 4-byte PkgLength can legally encode a 10-byte package, then current calculation is acpi-compliant.
