Setting this to severity important so it gets considered for the next kernel
upload. 

Imho it's important, as it allows people with broken ACPI bioses to fix them
without a kernel recompile. The initramfs tools already have the necessary
support to include a custom DSTDT into the initrd. 

So the patch is really the last bit that needs to be added :)
