I agree that the 2.6.27 default was changed to ACPI for the wrong reason.
However, I think it was the right thing to do, and if you didn't propose it, I would.
My expectation is that with the ACPI default, our problem is working around a finite list of old machines that don't work; while with the default KBD, our problem is working around a potentially unbounded list of yet to be shipped machines who may only be tested and work using the ACPI method.
So I recommend leaving the default as ACPI for a while to see how it goes.
thanks, -Len
