iasl has -I<path> option but I don't see a conditional. (And I have very
vague understanding of ASL syntax in case there is something that can be
done in the language itself).

I ran a quick test with 'cat' and it seems to work OK. Besides, we are
already using 'cat' implicitly: we append mk_dsdt output to existing
*asl file.
