I don't have any problem with that, but can we hold off on this patch
for now? There's another approach to fixing the BGRT issue with kexec
that's being discussed which would supersede this,

Assuming this patch does get picked up again, I'm happy to respin it
against upstream ACPICA, but how do I go about getting dependent
patches merged, PATCH 2/2 in this case?
