So I received another answer from Gigabyte, but not a very conclusive
one;

"Hi Daniel,

Thank you for the feedback and offer. We have forwarded your message
and request to our headquarters but have not heard any response from
them yet.

Thus, we are not sure if they plan to disable GPI7 SMI code excution
in the future BIOS release. Becuase it might affect other functions
when the codes are disabled.

We will keep you informed if we received a new BIOS release to work
around this issue. Otherwise, please check our web site for new
versions periodically.

Best regards,

GBT Tech Support"

Sounds like they want to close the ticket... I guess we could still
wait for a new more weeks before submitting the patch, but I'm not
sure that will pay off. Maybe Gigabyte is off investigating this? Who
knows...
