| Note that you have to patch the output of iasl -d, *NOT* the .asl file

Aha.  But the diff you included clearly indicated it was a patch for
insp4150.asl.  When I told patch to patch insp4150.dsl instead, using
your patch, it applied cleanly, and moreover the fix now works to the
extent that I don't get those error messages anymore.

To be precise, I followed your exact instructions with this
difference:

# patch insp4150.dsl insp4150.patch

Still doesn't for me.  Same result.  Maybe I should learn what DPMS
stands for.
