It's not in the kernel; ACPI is just used for device enumeration. I'm
not personally sure why they did this, but the reasons can probably eb
found in the list archives and/or the website.
You can grab the source RPMs and rebuild with ACPI (perhaps even with a
new ACPI patch); this is what I've done for my laptop, and it works
wonderfully.
