It worked perfectly. I'll add it to the PR in a few minutes. If you are doing this, will you add quirks for the other ACPI modules? I know I've seen reports that various of them are not working on some BIOS or another and putting in the quirks (even if there are no current references to most of them in the acpi_quirks file) will make it easier for people to make appropriate customizations of their kernels. -- R.
