How do we fix all this? (Who owns it?)
If someone who has this problem with ACPI is enabled can verify that
Windows works that would be helpful, then we might be able to figure
out why CONFIG_ACPI=y doesn't suffice for *some* people. I've been
told that VIA got their ACPI wrong in some cases so that might be why
it doesn't work --- but if Windows deals with it we might be able to
do whatever windows does in this case.
Doing the quick blindly as we did before (and current -mm does) breaks
for some people and trying to list all the IDs breaks for others
(apparently a larger or certainly louder group).
