The patches to the PnP BIOS driver have been 
included in 2.4.9-ac15.  Note that the "boot"
and "current" configurations will be switched
in comparison with earlier kernels.  Thus,
what once required "setpnp -b" now requires "setpnp"
and vice versa.

The driver still causes the "current" config to come
up entirely disabled on a subsequent boot on my TP600,
and it still fails to update its local info when setpnp
is used to change settings.  Curing these ills will
require further R&D.
