I was about to report the same issue on a Dell Latitude D830. Boot
failure, flood of these messages:

ACPI Exception: AE_AML_MUTEX_ORDER, while evaluating GPE method [_L1C] (20140214/evgpe-580)
ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\GPE._L1C] (Node f5e0c9a8), AE_AML_MUTEX_ORDER (20140214/psparse-536)
ACPI Error: Cannot acquire Mutex for method [SX30], current SyncLevel is too large (1) (20140214/dsmethod-362)
ACPI Exception: AE_AML_MUTEX_ORDER, while evaluating GPE method [_L1C] (20140214/evgpe-580)

With acpi_no_auto_serialize things look good.


Before I tried that option, a bisection led me to remove
"| AML_CREATE" from commit f56b05bd111b. That made the laptop boot,

things seemed okay, except for the battery not being detected: the
normal battery line was gone ("ACPI: Battery Slot [BAT0] (battery
present)") and there's this instead:

ACPI Error: Cannot acquire Mutex for method [SX45], current SyncLevel is too large (1) (20140214/dsmethod-362)
