Thanks for comments. I hesitated to put them into one patch or two
patches when I post. Later I decided to post them in two patches because
they are in two components, one is x86, the other is ACPI. And though
very simple fix I worry they can't be described well in one patch log.

Anyway, change related to patch 1/2 had been included in Al Stone's
patchset posted earlier. So this one has to be NACKed.
