Have you approached any of the RH-derived distros to do this? It sounds
like you're asking RH to provide free fixes for broken hardware, in some
cases obsolete and not supported by the original vendor. I don't see that
flying. Instead, consider hiring someone to prepare a derived distro with
the fixes you want.
For the benefit of lurkers who, like me, don't know what DSDT stands for,
here's an excerpt from the Linux ACPI site:
DSDT is an acronym for Differentiated System Description Table. This
table contains the Differentiated Definition Block, which supplies the
information and configuration information about the base system. It is
always inserted into the ACPI Namespace by the OS at boot time.
Unfortunately, many hardware vendors and OEMs are not capable of
supplying fully functional tables (not even the members of the ACPI SIG),
see also the blacklist.
This is from <http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/>.
