There is a regression in event handling visible on some hardware (Maxdata
pro8000x here, but there's been other reports, even on this ml).
Basically, the ACPI SCI seems to be raised correctly according to
/proc/interrupts, but the events are reported erratically or not reported
at all. As a sidenote: kacpid doesn't spin when that happens. Any hints 
on how to debug this further?
Best regards,
