So why did he release a second patch for pre4 after that then and not 
2.4.19??? Will he be releasing new patch for each preX?

I understand using BK tree for things that will be included and 
avoid/simplify merging for official maintainer. As far as I understand 
Marcello is not going to integrate ACPI in 2.4.20...
