Yes, I also get that oops but other than that, both link order versions 
you sent out work -- ie, booting with acpi=noirq gets me to a functional 
system with the quirk having run for PNP0c02 (acpi=off disables all of 
PNP0c02) and doing its job.

For some reason only some of your messages seem to be making it into my
