This was against 0619.  Things can't have diverged THAT much since the
only public release after this was 0714 and the linux pushes have been
mostly in the linux-specific code (i.e. PIC).  I have a feeling you didn't
run the patch through the LiNuXuLaTor de-caps tool and that's why it
rejected.  Apply it against a stock acpica unix dist and then de-caps it.
