The patch is completely unacceptable as-is, e.g. putting ACPI-specific
ifdefs into initramfs.c. The idea looks good and with some more work
like using the firmware loader interface it should be mergeable
upstream. So could you please talk to the patch authors and upstream,
this isn't debian-specific in any way.
