That "works", for some sub-optimal value of "works".  It does indeed
shut up *some* of the messages, but boot was taking *forever* (or more correctly,
I gave up when it had taken more than 6 minutes to get through the initial
udev and modprobe flurry that usually takes all of 12 seconds or less to
complete.

I'm suspecting that something *else* is busticated in the ACPI code, and
loops that used to complete quickly are missing whatever terminating
condition they had, and the new infinite loop detector is in fact tripping
properly and catching the (newly introduced) error condition?
