What machine is this for? The patch does not say.
What steps were taken to show that this is not
an ACPI bug in Linux that would be masked if we
applied this patch?
thanks,

We don't have a record of that info.

Yeah, this was a quick workaround. I think we'd probably be better off
figuring out /why/ the system was freezing, but, well.
and Andrew asked about the machine specifics, but we haven't
received any more info. Best just to drop it IMO.
