While I understand your goal to reduce patchcount in FC kernels the DSDT initrd patch is IMHO not a feature but a facilitator to fix DSDT bugs and easily test the fixes. I have an Acer laptop and the DSDT in FC4's 2.6.12-1447 has a pretty annoying battery bug that fills up the console and /var/log/messages. Afaik it only takes about three tweaks like s/Z00I/Z001 to fix it. That's a few minor changes that requires me right now to patch the FC4 kernel src.rpm and rebuild it. I have seen Len Brown's feedback on this subject mentioned in Thorsten's post and I respectfully disagree with him and it seems so do at least Ubuntu, OpenSuSe and Mandriva. I hope you will include the patch in a future FC4/Rawhide kernel release.
