2 weeks ago, I've added acpica to our meta layer:
https://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=openembedded/meta-linaro.git;a=blob;f=meta-linaro/recipes-extra/acpica/acpica_20130626.bb;h=65eadac0d8cb289fafc3fd9093771414850b9973;hb=ac4d009827b1552e3422aede2c06b5a610221144

Feel free to cherry pick if you found anything useful.
