Ok, bisected down to:
16dc39c98a6ca56a27f22f7ac6731d8223237a2e is first bad commit

    ACPI: use ioremap_cache()

    Although the temporary boot-time ACPI table mappings
    were set up with CPU caching enabled, the permanent table
    mappings and AML run-time region memory accesses were
    set up with ioremap(), which on x86 is a synonym for
    ioremap_nocache().

    Changing this to ioremap_cache() improves performance as
    seen when accessing the tables via acpidump,
    or /sys/firmware/acpi/tables.  It should also improve
    AML run-time performance.

    No change on ia64.

Revert of that patch fixes the problem.
