Some other device has its io memory space reserved, or the io memory
space is reserved by ACPI (which is more likely). In the latter case,
you should see an acpi resource conflict message on the console
(or with dmesg). Otherwise, 'cat /proc/ioports' should give you
an idea about the offending driver.

It's ACPI:
it87: Found IT8772F chip at 0xa30, revision 0
ACPI Warning: 0x0000000000000a35-0x0000000000000a36 SystemIO conflicts with
Region \_SB_.PCI0.SBRG.LBAE 1 (20121018/utaddress-251)
ACPI: If an ACPI driver is available for this device, you should use it
instead of the native driver
No idea what this is. Will running acpid help?

See http://hansdegoede.livejournal.com/7932.html for an explanation.
The page describes a workaround, but it may be risky.
