Windows XP seems to have issues when _PRT() returns a variable package.
We know in advance the size, so we can return a fixed package instead.

XP doesn't support VarPackage, if you attach with wingdb to guest,
you'll likely will see ACPI related error

I'd add an assert here, to make sure that nroutes < 256

Given that nroutes is 128, older Package should be able to
handle it.

With assert added,
