Nice!  Glad to know it's in 2.6.35.  Will look forward to that.

I wonder why it defaults to FALSE.  It will still break the "out-of-box
experience" for Toshiba laptops.  Can a blacklist flag be added, so that it
will default to TRUE when certain laptop models/vendors are detected?

Isn't the DSDT only around 64K in size?  What would be the harm of always
keeping a local copy?  Perhaps a heuristic could be used, such as only copying
the DSDT if the installed memory size is 1GB or larger (so the memory loss
wouldn't really be noticed).

I don't mean to nitpick, just concerned about the ability of systems to do a
clean install of Linux (i.e. put in the CD/USB and it "Just Works", with no
manual intervention necessary to edit the kernel command line or anything like
that).
