This is still present in -rc5. Linus, this message obviously warns for no good reason. Can you please pick up the patch at http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=134456468110431 since ACPI people don't seem to react here. Btw, Aaron, the stable tag should be covering 3.4 too because the patch that added the message actually is 0090def6c37c8: $ git tag --contains 0090def6c37c8 v3.4 v3.4-rc1 v3.4-rc2 v3.4-rc3 v3.4-rc4 v3.4-rc5 v3.4-rc6 v3.4-rc7 v3.4.1 v3.4.2 v3.4.3 v3.4.4 v3.4.5 v3.4.6 v3.4.7 v3.5 v3.5-rc1 v3.5-rc2 v3.5-rc3 v3.5-rc4 v3.5-rc5 v3.5-rc6 v3.5-rc7 v3.6-rc1 v3.6-rc2 v3.6-rc3 v3.6-rc4 v3.6-rc5 Thanks. -- Regards/Gruss, Boris.
