The errors mentioned here is actually a different set of errors and have been
around for a long time.

I've just re-opened bug 109511 for these and attached a patch to lower the
loglevel of errors while loading the extra ACPI tables from error to warning,
which should fix the original set of errors showing on the console during boot.

This new set however is not affected by the patch I've attach to bug 109511.
But I do believe that we should fix it in the same manner, of the extra check
introduced in 4.14 which prints these messages triggers on a lot of machines
and there is nothing on the kernel side we can do to fix this, then these
messages really should be logged with a log-level of warning, not error.
