Assuming it's related to the bug previously mentioned
(http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6612) which it might not be
at all, it looks like the accepted patch in the bug report is clearing
an ACPI event which should never get generated in the first place? If
so, could the same thing be happening here?
