It would be worth to test whether latest EC burst mode implementations still walks this code path. If, you probably still have battery problems. You could try latest 2.6.13-rcX patches and enable ec_burst=1 (with the unfixed DSDT). If this works, you will have to boot with this option a few kernels. But it shouldn't be worth to look at any further as this will get default sooner or later. If you still have battery problems, you should open a bug at: http://bugzilla.kernel.org assign it to the ACPI component and take me into CC. ....
