Well, I didn't expect you to send a pull request for this right away
to be honest.

Can you please pull from my acpica branch and rebase your patches on
top of that by any chance?

And no, the "merges cleanly" part isn't sufficient as it'll create a
mess of a history if merged together like that.  Can we do that
properly instead?

Thanks,
Rafael
