This does not work that early. You also want to have this working automatically
on every machine where you know which one to take (32/64 bit addresses).
Printing out 32X/64X address mismatches when a sanity check fails and point to
a "try acpi=rsdt boot param" is certainly a good idea.
I do not see another solution than the boot param and blacklist approach. Len
might have have another idea (see comment #60).
Regarding the time I wasted for this, I won't post for this bug anymore. I
proposed a save and sane solution, the issue is debugged to the root cause.

> But on windows vista the XSDT will be used when both exist
But still the 32 bit addresses I expect?
