Just one note here: DSDTs have nothing to do with the kernel. This is
just broken firmware. The most one can do _in-kernel_ is blacklist some
functionality or create a workaround, but this only happens for widely
used stuff. Broken DSDTs aren't widely used stuff, they are written by
the machine's vendor (the laptop's manufacturer for example, but this
could be different for desktops) and differ a lot from one machine to
another.
