You don't need to depend on meta-intel or meta-acpi. There are other ways to add SSDT overlays than initrd. For example your boards can stick them to EFI variable, the kernel can find them there. Then you don't need to ship a separate image per board type. For more information see Documentation/acpi/ssdt-overlays.txt.
