There is good chance that your system do have a table called SSDT, which
contains a DCST package.

Try something like
sudo ./acpidmp/acpidmp | grep SSDT
to see if I'm correct.
Then
./acpidmp/acpidmp SSDT > ssdt
hd ssdt

will dump the SSDT.  Look then if something like DCST do exist.

In that case, just making something like:
             Method (_CST, 0, NotSerialized)
             {
                 External(DCST)
                 Return (DCST)
             }


should be ok.

If that is not the case, I'm afraid that I need the full dump from
acpidmp (no just the DSDT) to look.  For this:

wget http://developer.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/downloads/pmtools-20010730.tar.gz
tar xzvfp pmtools-20010730.tar.gz
cd pmtools-20010730/acpidmp
make
sudo ./acpidmp > acpidmp.out
gzip acpidmp.out.gz
