We're seeing the same issue wtih 5.4.0-rc7-next-20191118 on a Linux VM
running on Hyper-V :

[    0.133029] ACPI: 1 ACPI AML tables successfully acquired and loaded
[    0.144023] ACPI: Interpreter enabled
[    0.145023] ACPI: (supports S0 S5)
[    0.146023] ACPI: Using IOAPIC for interrupt routing
[    0.147024] PCI: Using host bridge windows from ACPI; if necessary,
use "pci=nocrs" and report a bug
[    0.148031] ACPI: Masking GPE 0x0.
...
[  774.839023] ACPI: Masking GPE 0x0.
[  774.840023] ACPI: Masking GPE 0x0.

I guess the patch is only tested on a physical machine and not on a VM...

Thanks,
