Hi Greg,

Could you include upstream commit 33f767d767e9a68 (ACPI: Rework
acpi_get_child() to be more efficient) in 3.8.5?  It fixes an issue on
certain Toshiba laptops where the wrong ACPI handle is being used for
the nVidia graphics card.

A few users have confirmed the fix works on top of a 3.8.y kernel in
both https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42696 and
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=903360.  The commit
cherry-picks cleanly on top of 3.8.4.  I spoke to Rafael about it
briefly and neither of us see any reason why this wouldn't be safe to
bring back.
