The patch attached allow to compile at least and will correct the problem
you encounter.  There is 3 warnings still but there should be harmless (one
is related to video switching, the others to a docking station
apparently, so if you have trouble with those, please report).

I'm not sure yet we can write a workaround to fix this without having
to override the DSDT (maybe Nate have some thought about this?)
