I'm seeing this again right now.  I'm wondering if it's because I'm
running on battery power at the moment:

[41694.309264] ACPI Exception: AE_TIME, Returned by Handler for [EmbeddedControl] (20120913/evregion-501)

[41694.809093] ACPI: EC: input buffer is not empty, aborting transaction

ec_storm_threshold is still set to 8 in /sys/module/acpi/parameters/ so that's
not the issue here.

Ah, ok, that means it's not something new in 3.7-rc, so maybe it's just never
worked properly for this hardware :)

So it's not a regression, just an ACPI issue, any ACPI developer have an idea
about this?
