I suppose you meant to use strl* instead of strn* operations.  Below is a
simple patch to fix these. Can you please fold these changes into your next
version as well?

ACPI / Processor: fix buffer overflow caused by strncat/strncpy

The misuse of strncat in LPI code is causing buffer overflow. The fix
is to replace strncat with strlcat.
