Initializing const char opregion_signature[16] = OPREGION_SIGNATURE
(which is "IntelGraphicsMem") drops the NUL termination of the
string. This is intentional, but the compiler doesn't know this.
Switch to initializing header->signature directly from the string
litaral, with sizeof destination rather than source. We don't treat the
signature as a string other than for initialization; it's really just a
blob of binary data.
Add a static assert for good measure to cross-check the sizes.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
