HPET _CRS to XCRS Rename has a wrong hex number #33

This is by design. If you did a blanket rename of all instances of _CRS to XCRS - you would be forcing any device that has a defined _CRS method to try and utilize IRQs 0, 8, and 11 - which would force IRQ conflicts; thus defeating the entire purpose of the FixHPET approach. The reason it's padded is to ensure that the hex we're looking for only occurs once in the DSDT - thus only renaming HPET's _CRS method, and not every instance within the DSDT.
