The real question is, why not to make acpi=copy-dsdt default?
Since this system I assume works with the other OS, its quite likely
that it copies the DSDT.
in fact I have seen in ACPI spec that it suggest to copy the ACPI
tables.
(It says that OS is free to reclaim memory used by ACPI tables as soon
as it made copy if these).
The only way to make ACPI robust on linux is unfortunately to reproduce
the behavior of the other os bug to bug.
Best regards,
