Subject"ACPI: EC: missing confirmations, switch off interrupt mode" wastes time on startup
From
Hi,
I found that on my netbook (acer aspire one 110), kernel boot time
(kernel 2.6.29) is severely affected by the EC boot procedure, since
it is first fooled by a spurious interrupt in thinking that interrupts
work, and then gets a timeout waiting for an interrupt that never
arrives:
[ 0.351161] calling acpi_init+0x0/0x236 @ 1
[ 0.361052] ACPI: EC: Look up EC in DSDT
[ 0.367754] ACPI: BIOS _OSI(Linux) query ignored
[ 0.368984] ACPI: EC: non-query interrupt received, switching to
interrupt mode
[ 0.860013] ACPI: EC: missing confirmations, switch off interrupt mode.
[ 0.866062] ACPI: Interpreter enabled

There is a bug report for this issue
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12001 , marked as fixed on
an old kernel, but I'm still getting it with 2.6.29 (maybe my
controller is flaky?), so I'm looking for a workaround: is there a way
to force the ACPI using polling?
