I have not disabled the build of the acpi.ko kernel module for now or changed 
any of the other infrastructure.  The bits in the loader to auto-load the 
acpi.ko module are smart enough to not load it if it is already compiled into 
the kernel (or at least I haven't had any problems over the last N years I 
have had 'device acpi' in my i386 kernels).
