mpt fusion driver crashes with LSI22320SE installed and BIOS ACPI turned off

[Maurice Volaski]

I emailed about this earlier and here's some new info: the crash 
occurs when ACPI is turned off. It appears that your driver is 
expecting information from ACPI and if it doesn't get it, it will 
crash. (This has been posted as bug 
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12733)

On a system with a Supermicro X7DWN+ with ACPI turned off, and an 
LSI22320SE card installed, the mptdriver will crash. Here is the 
relevant log:

This could very easily be a motherboard bug. Many newer motherboards are 
NOT tested properly with ACPI disabled. Your case could easily be due to 
the board's interrupt routing for certain slots/devices being messed up 
when ACPI is not in use. For this reason it's generally not a good idea 
to try to disable ACPI these days.
