I didn't want to re-flash it, but I went ahead and cleared the CMOS,
then went in and re-enabled the power-management functions (back to
"Auto")

[    0.000000] Linux version 3.6.0-rc4-dan-00128-geeea3ac (harik@fileserver) (g

So damned if I know why the BIOS quit exporting the SSDT, I'll chalk
it up to bit-rot.   As far as I can tell, every BIOS setting is the
same as before I wiped it.
