For anyone finding this the problem has re-appeared with Ubuntu 20.04 on a 
Fujitsu Lifebook A544 after upgrading to BIOS version 1.24 (or 1.25).  It shows 
itself as workers kacpid and acpid_notify hogging most of a core. the fix (or 
workaround?) is to run
sudo sh -c 'echo "disable" > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe13'
which works until a reboot, or to make it persistent add to the root crontab 
(using sudo crontab -e)
@reboot echo "disable" > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe13

Whether this has any side effects I don't know.
