I changed this:
 status = acpi_os_execute(OSL_EC_BURST_HANDLER,acpi_ec_gpe_query, ec);

To this:
status = acpi_os_queue_for_execution(OSD_PRIORITY_MED,acpi_ec_gpe_query, 
ec);

Not sure if this is the right thing there: OSD_PRIORITY_MED

It compiles with a warning:

# make
CHK     include/linux/version.h
CHK     include/linux/compile.h
LD [M]  drivers/acpi/processor.o
Kernel: arch/i386/boot/bzImage is ready  (#29)
Building modules, stage 2.

 .init.data: from .text between 'acpi_processor_power_init' (at
 offset 0xe75) and 'acpi_safe_halt'

Is this warning a problem  ?

Well, nothing seems to have changed it works as before. Still no events 
received by acpid
