I tested the change against a 2.6.18 kernel and found that there it works without the RSDT entry. So I did not make that entry. If you think it's necessary, then I can add functionality for the RSDT part as well and have it registered in both tables.

Should be harmless. The RSDT is only used by ACPI 1.0 Oses that do not know about the XSDT.
