Appropriate workaround for a distro release? Yes.
Appropriate patch for upstream? No.
Upstream should fix the root cause, which is to figure out when the RSDT
and XSDT disagree, which Windows is using, and use that one. Littering
upstream with DMI entries simply hides the test cases that we know about
and delays the correct fix.
