I would hope that a patch that _only_ prints [Firmware bug] should be enough. This isn't the kind of workaround that we should really have to carry in the kernel.
This is still a very new platform, and my guess is that they are actively updating the BIOS as we speak. I'll see if I can figure out who to talk to in order to make sure of that:-)
