Subject: Loading DSDT from initrd, can it be done from grub instead?

In commit 9a9e0d685553af76cb6ae2af93cca4913e7fcd47 the
ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_INITRD option was removed.

I was wondering if it'd be feasible to hack grub to load a custom DSDT
instead (since grub can read filesystems) and then pass a pointer to a
memory location containing the DSDT to the kernel?
