drivers/acpi/system.c lacks the inclusion of linux/interrupt.h.

So add
#include <linux/interrupt.h>
to drivers/acpi/system.c and it should build.

Don't really know about but Pavel Machek is working on software suspend for
2.5 kernels. Tried it every now and then but it's not 100% working yet since
it's still under development as the whole 2.5 kernel is.
Better is you stickt to 2.4 kernels.
To get acpid work with 2.5 kernels you need a patch for acpid to get it to 
work with latest acpi.
