Subject: [2.6.28-rc2] EeePC ACPI errors & exceptions

EeePC 901, BIOS revision 1603, current Debian lenny; running on AC.

I've noticed the following errors & exceptions, apparently coinciding with
the startup of xfce4-sensors-plugin:

ACPI: EC: missing confirmations, switch off interrupt mode.
ACPI Exception (evregion-0419): AE_TIME, Returned by Handler for [EmbeddedControl] [20080926]
ACPI Error (psparse-0524): Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.SBRG.EC0_.BST2] (Node f7030d38), AE_TIME
ACPI Error (psparse-0524): Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.CBST] (Node f70336f8), AE_TIME
ACPI Error (psparse-0524): Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.BAT0._BST] (Node f7031c48), AE_TIME
ACPI Exception (battery-0360): AE_TIME, Evaluating _BST [20080926]

Also, this (which, unlike the above, is also present with 2.6.27.*):

ACPI: I/O resource 0000:00:1f.3 [0x400-0x41f] conflicts with ACPI region SMRG [0x400-0x40f]
ACPI: Device needs an ACPI driver

Full dmesg & config are attached.

(The Elantech touchpad patch from http://arjan.opmeer.net/elantech/ is
applied to this kernel.)

Thou shalt not sleep within an interrupt handler.
