This presumably won't match an acpia change, right? Those structures
appear to repeat the fields in the newer structure definitions.

Maybe its best to keep this as close to an acpica change and do a quick
patch posting for acpica to assure they are onboard with the eventual
structure (IIRC it was fast a few years ago when I had a similar problem).

That would avoid a bunch of the churn here of adding the 'f'/'extra'
dereferene which would then potentailly have to be reverted at some
point when acpica corrects the original structure.
