It's been built-in since 3.2.10-1.

That fix ('PCI: acpiphp: check whether _ADR evaluation succeeded')
causes acpiphp to give up on some devices that it can't or shouldn't
handle. It doesn't necessarily stop acpiphp from being loaded, if it's
a module.
That fix was originally made in 3.6-rc1 and then included in 3.5.7,
3.2.31 and other stable updates. But you reported this bug was still
present in Debian's 3.2.32-1, so I don't think they are related.
