You should provide at least diffs or else be prepared for rewrite some.
THere is those stuff in those ASLs:

ducrot@neptune:~/acpi_hack$ grep SystemMemo tm4502lmi-sbs-cm.asl
    OperationRegion (MNVS, SystemMemory, 0x1DEECE59, 0x60)
                OperationRegion (VNVS, SystemMemory, 0x1DEECEB9, 0x00010004)
                OperationRegion (SMI1, SystemMemory, 0x1DEFCEBD, 0x00000090)

That means that if someone owns a tm4502lmi, but different amount of
RAM, then all of those ORs will likely fail.

I don't see the point of making this if this is only for
smartbatt.  Do you have to override the DSDT for something else
(and then, well, why not)?
