I had thought of asking that as well. But it may be a pain for Andrew to make 
those.
If you have all the source-patches you've used, you might be able to do that 
yourself. Just get the 'original' 2.4, patch it with 2 different ver's of 
ACPI  and diff those.. Then you could apply that diff as a patch to your 
'overloaded' ver of 2.4.
