Can someone detail what the two lines are to make this DSDT for a Compaq
N410c compile without errors.  Compaq seems to have fixed everything but the
errors listed below in their latest BIOS rev.

Thank you kindly,
-Chris

 Add two lines... I think they are "external" (you can check the specs to
 be sure).  This tells the comiler that those symbols exist in an external
 table (your SSDTs if it's anything like my n600c.  I don't have it booted
 otherwise I'd give the exact lines.
