All device paths start with the same header containing type, subtype, and
length. Move these fields into a struct and use the struct in the two existing
device path types,
DevicePath
andAcpiDevicePath
.This also fixes the missing
length
field inAcpiDevicePath
since it usesthe header type now.
The
header
fields inDevicePath
andAcpiDevicePath
are not publicbecause it's generally unsafe to modify the values since they determine how
the rest of the data in the node is interpreted.
