I do not think we can change such errors to "BIOS errors". Again, we do not
know for sure. Moreover, this is slippery slope. Many, many ACPI errors can be
traced back to the BIOS. Do we just make all errors "BIOS errors" and then
"debug each such error message for sure"? I think not. Or convert all AML
errors (AE_AML_*)? to BIOS errors? No.

The fact is that the error happened within the ACPI subsystem and that is what
the message is intended to convey.

Fixing the blame on the BIOS is simply an attempt to guess at a root cause that
the ACPICA software simply cannot do. It is wrong.

I'm willing to change the message to something a bit more helpful, and we can
provide a mechanism to stop the "Not found" message after it has been displayed
once for a given executing control method.
