I'm pretty sure it does, but:

a) do you believe this is right patch for -stable? Should it get lot
more testing in mainline as it.... may change things in a wrong way
for someone else?

b) if we are ignoring errors now, should we at least printk() to let
the user know that something is wrong with the ACPI tables?

Best regards,
Pavel
