Re: custom dsdt with 2.5

I changed by hand the osl.c of the kernel 2.5. I can send you a diff if 
you want. This is the few lines I changed :

#include "/my/home/dsdt.hex"

and

*new_table = (struct acpi_table_header *) AmlCode;

*ALL* acpi tables will be passed to acpi_table_override().  Therefore,
the RSDT table have been replaced by the table that you have provided.
Since that is not what you want (RSDT is not DSDT), the ACPI subsystem
can not work properly.

Do something like this:

	*new_table = NULL;

	if (!strncmp((strncmp(existing_table->signature, DSDT_SIG, 4))))
		*new_table = (struct acpi_table_header *) AmlCode;


BTW, I don't see any reason why you have to patch by hand osl.c and you don't
use acpi-custom-DSDT.patch instead.
Really, it look good for me.  What say

$ patch -p1 -i /path/to/acpi-custom-DSDT.patch
in the linux-2.5.69 directory ?
