I've attached the diff between the two versions for history.  But all 
you have to do is download the patched ASL 
("Compaq-Armada_1700_1750_3500-686EM_99.1130_A-custom.asl") and 
compile/override it.  See the handbook or "man acpi" for steps, but the 
short of it is:

iasl Compaq-Armada_1700_1750_3500-686EM_99.1130_A-custom.asl
cp DSDT.aml /boot

And add to /boot/loader.conf:
acpi_dsdt_load="YES"
acpi_dsdt_name="/boot/DSDT.aml"

This will load your custom AML at boot time.
