It's actually set to force_ht, so it sounds like some blacklisting is 
now stricter than it used to be. However, given that acpi=force seems to 
work, how about just doing the following?

    ACPI: Remove old blacklist entries
    
    The kernel has a set of blacklist entries that disable ACPI functionality
    on various machines. These all seem to date from pre-git days and most
    have no indication of what they were meant to fix. Let's work on the
    assumption that we've fixed whatever it was that was broken before and so
    remove most of the entries.
