Looking at things in "top", I do end up occasionally seeing spikes where
kacpid takes 17% of CPU time, and kacpi_notify takes a few percent too.
But the machine works ok, and it doesn't seem to be horrible:

64 ? S< 0:15 [kacpid]
65 ? S< 0:08 [kacpi_notify]

so they've gotten 23 seconds of CPU time over the 37 minutes that laptop
has been up now. That's arguably too much, but on the other hand, I did
end up trying to stress it out by doing some 3D stuff while compiling the
kernel and doing "git grep" over the kernel tree etc.
