Subject: Fwd: Continuous ACPI errors resulting in high CPU usage by journald

Hi,

On Bugzilla, danilrybakov249@...il.com reported stable-specific, ACPI error
regression that led into high CPU temperature [1]. He wrote:

> After updating from lts v6.6.14-2 to lts v6.6.17-1 noticed high CPU temperature and lag. After running htop noticed that journald was using 30-60% of CPU. Afterwards, tried switching to stable, or lts v6.6.18-1, but encountered the same issue.
