We need to know the precise behaviour of Windows in this case. It's 
clearly using the 32-bit values by default, but we are currently unsure 
whether it's taking them from the FADT pointed to by the RSDT or the 
XSDT. My patch assumes the latter. I suspect that this is better than 
Linux's current behaviour and so I think we should push it anyway 
(though perhaps not until the 2.6.29 timeframe), but confirmation as to 
its correctness would be helpful.
