Hi Joseph,
	According to my investigation, it's an ACPI BIOS issue instead
of a kernel bug. But it's actually a regression. Now we enforce stricter
check for ACPI SCI interrupt, which exposes an implementation flaw in
the virtual BIOS.

I have posted the analysis at
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101301
But I have no account at launchpad, so could you please help to copy
the message to launchpad?
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1440072

Thanks!
Gerry
