nope, the next patch 16/19 uses 64-bit math,

it greatly simplifies _CRS as we don't have to do
64-bit math manually using 32-bit integers.

And even if we put new MHPD.MCRS() that uses 64-bit math in SSDT,
it won't crash XP unless someone would try to do memory hotplug

and even it could be 'fixed' if we check _REV on every
hotplug event, it's a bit ugly but should work.
