ACPI events generated on PCI usage.

ACPI events generated on PCI usage.

[Chad LeClair]

Sorry if this is a repeat, the list seemed to have filtered out the last 
one.

Since upgrading to the 2.6 series of kernel I have
noticed the events/0 process consuming processor time
any time I use a PCI device. For example, when I play
sound on my SB Live, the events/0 consumes ~15% of my
processor. It doesn't effect AGP, or onboard devices.
I turned ACPI debugging on and found that when these
devies are in use a constant stream of DEVICE WAKE
events are generated.

Is there any way to prevent or ignore these events to
avoid wasting processor time on them?

Do you think it of 2.6 only issue?

How did you get this data (events/0 comsuming ~15% processor)

We need to check DSDT first!  BTW, please attach boot log.

any time I use a PCI device. For example, when I play
