SLES doesn't have ACPI_DEBUG enabled. 

ACPI_DEBUG is just sometimes enabled in the betas because it makes
it easier to track down ACPI bugs - mostly because of the
tracing options which can be then used without recompiling the kernel

(which BTW seem to also cause considerable 
overhead. One current case is a system where kacpid takes about 1.7%
of CPU and most of that seems to be just tracing functions) 

ACPI_DEBUG_LITE was intended to be a subset that has only the 
needed stuff enabled, but somehow that didn't take off.
