The system ACPI BIOS is attempting to access PCI configuration space directly rather than using the correct PCI Config space operation regions. This is unsafe - directly accessing config space like this is non-atomic. The OSL implementation blocks these accesses. Perhaps, Dana, you can give us

I'm more inclined to add an additional acpi-user-options bit to permit users to relax the I/O permission checks. Legacy acpi_intp had no permission check and I don't recall any bugs filed, though any problem resulting from non-atomic access to PCI config space is likely to be pretty mysterious.
