ok, but it'd take a tree of hacked DSDT for all sorts of laptops to make the
patching automatic. I guess for me or you it'd be simple to patch, but talk
about a linux user that uses suse linux or mandrake to make it easier to
use/administrate...

not flaming distros here! I'm just saying those try to do things automatically
on behalf of people (which is not bad in many cases) and it'd be hard to do such
automatic patching.
