No. Some errors can be workaround.

It maybe the EC GPE issue. Luming is working on it.

RE: AC Disconnect bug

Was RE: [ACPI] Why do I have to set pci=noacpi for network card to work?

I'm far from being an expert, but I don't think so. I've got debug enabled
and I don't get any errors at all. From what I could find in my searches,
the EC GPE errors even show up in the logs. ec.c is loaded with printks.
With the race condition, the system comes to a grinding halt. The kernel's
so busy swapping that there's not enough cpu cycles to even flush the disk
cache, so I've stopped syslogd and set dmesg -n8 to get the debug on the
console to no avail. There are no kernel messages at all that occur when
this problem does (which makes it very difficult to guess where it's
happening).
