The patched dsdt is actually not guaranteed to work. I've had instances where it didn't. That patch attempts to fix what's seems to be a race condition by adding a delay to the relevant function. But with all timing workarounds, it won't always work. The kernel patch will always work, because battery support simply isn't available until late in the boot process, where it can't do any harm.
