On the off chance it could get percolated up to the powers-that-be, I would make sure that it still happens when running the latest BIOS and then file a report with the motherboard maker. In bugzilla URL above, there is a kernel patch: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=99271&action=diff&collapsed=&headers=1&format=raw that (re)enables support for the libata.noacpi=1 kernel option (older kernels supported this option). Invoking that option on boot will tell the kernel to ignore ACPI for the ATA devices. Some people report that invoking that option improves drive performance on boot (i.e., eliminating drive timeouts and reducing boot times) and on wakeup: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=629315 I would invoke it on any system that is so improved.
