It's this kernel bug: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8246

I've added ec_intr=0 to my kernel commandline to get reasonable
boot/suspend/resume times and this prevents ACPI events. How do I get
notified when the mentioned patch made it into the mainline kernel? I'm
already in the CC list of that bug.
