IMO it's yet another incarnation of
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11822

If this is an outright violation of the ACPI spec, let me know (and if
possible, please tell me the spec page). This is the kind of thing I expect
it would be a no-brainer to get Lenovo to fix with a BIOS update.

I don't think this is the same issue, but in both cases it looks like the BIOS AML code is wrong (just judging from the output, haven't looked at the dump yet). _WAK is supposed to return a package of 2 DWORD values, a bit field of conditions that occurred during sleep, and the effective S-state the system actually entered (section 7.3.7 of the ACPI 3.0 spec). Presumably the BIOS is returning a single integer.
