[ACPI] Regression 2.6.23-rc3 fails to boot (acpi)

[Alex Hunsaker]

Hangs on boot with:
ACPI: EC: GPE = 0x4, I/O: command/status = 0x66, data = 0x62
ACPI: Interpreter enabled
ACPI: (supports S0 S3)
ACPI: Using PIC for interrupt routing
ACIP: EC: GPE = 0x4, I/O: command/status = 0x66, data = 0x62

2.6.23-rc2 is ok
2.6.23-rc3 bad
2.6.23-rc3-latest (7c010de7506954e973abfab5c5999c5a97f7a73e) bad

git-bisect narrowed it down to:

7c010de7506954e973abfab5c5999c5a97f7a73e
ACPI: EC: Switch from boot_ec as soon as we find its desc in DSDT.

Some ASUS laptops fail to use boot time EC
and need to eventually switch to one described in DSDT.
