Subject: Re: [acpi:battery?] kernel oops on boot

Hello,
I'm seeing a similar bug on my notebook (Asus F3Sa) with current git.
-rc4 does not work, while -rc3 does work.

The error (at least in my case) is a division by zero in
acpi_ex_insert_into_field.
Disassembly near the faulty instruction (div %esi) looks like this:

Register dump confirms that ESI is 0. The div seems to be generated for
ACPI_ROUND_UP_TO:

865             datum_count = ACPI_ROUND_UP_TO(obj_desc->common_field.bit_length,
