That's not actually Intel's patch (though the prime developers are at
Intel), and it's not the latest. The latest patch is available at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/acpi/. Apparently it's not up on the
developer.intel.com site because Intel is making its own developers pay to
use that site now! In any case, the developer.intel.com has always lagged
behind the sourceforge site, because the developers don't have to jump
through any hoops to get the patches up on sourceforge.
