iasl will complain about code that the Linux interpreter will happily
accept. If the only reason you've made changes is that iasl complains,
then it's unlikely that there's any functional difference as a result.
Otherwise, work out which changes fix which Linux bugs and file a bug
at bugzilla.kernel.org against acpi.
