Is there any work going on to reconcile (or merge or ...) this

Yes, that is exactly what is going on.
The acpidump in the kernel tree today is what we've been using for years.
Right.
The acpidump in the ACPICA tree its newly developed replacement.
When we cut over to the new, it will replace the old.
Ah, okay.
There is no big feature change here -- mostly the idea is
simply that more benefit from sharing the code maintained in the

packages for the ACPCICA user space tools.
