You mean:

commit 6d5a2172f2b76900572107868ec080400c4f615d
Author: Kevin O'Connor <kevin@koconnor.net>
Date:   Wed Oct 20 21:59:11 2010 -0400

     mark irq9 active high in DSDT

     In PIIX4 SCI (irq9) is active high. Seabios marks it so in interrupt
     override table, but some OSes (FreeBSD) require the same information to
     be present in DSDT too. Make it so.

If so, what's the impact of it not being there?  I wanted to stick to 
0.6.1 for stable-0.13, updating to a git snapshot is going to pull a lot 
of things in that would be better to avoid for stable.  We can talk to 
Kevin about a stable branch but I'd like to understand what the real 
impact here is first.
