Oh, no, I hadn't been able to tell from your ASL that bit 16 was set (it's
not that easy to guess as it computes the ID's dynamically at runtime.  I
was merely guessing that since I had changed the matching logic to look at
bit 31 that that was the cause, but it wasn't the matching logic that was
different (comparing _ADR to _DOD), but the logic that parsed _DOD is what
treated your laptop differently.
