build failure with new toolchain (cosmic)

[Christian Ehrhardt ]

Build errors got reported on the FTBFS check rebuild:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/test-rebuild-20180911/+build/15431923

This is due to
https://mail.coreboot.org/pipermail/seabios/2018-July/012353.html

It has wider impacts that we wnat to migrate away from these tables long term, but for now the fix is committed upstream and needs to be applied for cosmic to work well.

The long term fix to use the tables differently we will address together with Debian.
Short term we use the upstream fix to have it servicable (no FTBFS) in cosmic.

FYI: upstream fix is https://git.seabios.org/cgit/seabios.git/commit/?id=8c3f57ea1217ea0c80a72898bc35baa0e14af0e0

seabios (1.11.1-1ubuntu1) cosmic; urgency=medium

  * d/p/lp-1793725-Fix-building-of-legacy-acpi-tables.patch:
    avoid FTBFS due to newer IASL toolchain generating no more
    8 char abbreviated table names. Shorten the predefined names
    to match and fix the build issue (LP: #1793725)
