You're right, but unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be an easy way to preserve a sane solution which wouldn't cause any regression for users of different BIOS versions : http://marc.info/?l=linux-acpi&m=124082753813945&w=2 So I guess we're stuck with having to manually tweak boot params until something better is devised. I'll try and close this report when a definitive answer is provided in upstream list (probably soon, then). Thanks for caring.
