A very helpful approach would be: 1. Find a few cheap machines that are 100% confirmed to have this issue repeatable. 2. Flood the ACPI subsystem developer community with them, by ninja action where you suddenly handcuff it to them at some conference, other evento, or even a pub. But please, I am exempt from this.
