>From the module aliases in the kernel module, I think it gets loaded for
all Acer/Gateway/Packard Bell machines:

MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:*:*Acer*:*:");
MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:*:*Gateway*:*:");
MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:*:*Packard Bell*:*:");

Until this is fixed upstream, I suggest just lowering the severity of
the warning so that it does not show on a normal "quiet" boot. It can be
tempting to rephrase it, especially the over-dramatic "aborting" part,
but I think it is best to leave the text as it is upstream.
