dsdt support in redhat kernels

is there any chance of getting dsdt loading support into the fedora
kernel?  Then those of use with semi-broken dsdt (dell inspiron 8500)
can load a custom dsdt.

e.g.:

echo "INITRDDSDT123DSDT123" >> /boot/initrd-2.4.20-18.9.acpi.2.img
cat dsdt-i8500-A04-fixed-v2.aml >> /boot/initrd-2.4.20-18.9.acpi.2.img 

Patch for 2.4.22 vanilla is at:

http://gaugusch.at/kernel.shtml

As far as I know, there is no harm in this patch if a dsdt isn't
attached to the initrd.

While I'm at it, does anyone have patched up versions of the fedora
kernels with say dsdt, swsusp, etc?

Thanks,

Joel
