The last thing we need at this point of the release is a complex backported patch, targetted or not, that's going to require a lot of third-party testing before we can even establish whether it's caused regressions for other systems. I think that leaves the best option as ACPI blacklisting, in the kernel, for those models known to have problems. I think this is strictly better than trying to have the kernel give a warning when it detects such a model; it's more likely to reach the target audience than a note in the release notes; and it's far less of a support burden overall than trying to add in a special 2.6.19 kernel in and pretend that support for it could be at all comparable to that of the main kernel for the release.
