Is it possible to run Windows on this box?

It is important to find out which version of the DSDT Windows
is running with.  (Either they are running with the "new copy"
like the one inflicted on Linux, or it is running with the
"original", which seems to run fine with Linux).

One can extract the DSDT via windows by getting iasl
from acpica.org and running iasl -g

If Windows is running with a different DSDT than Linux,
then it becomes important to find out why Linux is provoking
the BIOS to scribble all over the DSDT.  Probably the
best way to do this is to take Lin Ming's patch and save
a copy of the original DSDT, and then from several places
compare the original and the current DSDT to see when
the BIOS clobbers the in-memory copy.

The most likely place this would occur is when we
write the SMI_CMD register to actually enter ACPI mode.

I very much do not want to copy the DSDT on all systems
because of the failure on this one system -- there must
be a better solution.
