I use the kernel override technique all of the time, and it works
perfectly. (I need to override the DSDT since the original DSDT has
the wrong CPU frequencies in it. So I can immedeately see that its
overridden.) There should be no difference whether the DSDT is
overriden this way, or from the initrd (read the patch, it's clear).

You can verify that he DSDT was actually overridden by inspecting
dmesg:

    ACPI-0294: *** Info: Table [DSDT] replaced by host OS
