I don't know where kernel bugs are reported officially, and was busy at the time. (still am). I do try and reply to others with the same problems though... finding the webpage which suggested that fix was not trivial! My lid switch is just above the keyboard, on the right hand side of the left hand screen hinge. It is just a tiny piece of plastic protruding from the case. Push it, and the screen goes off. Hold it, and wiggle the mouse (touchpad), and the naughty screen comes back on. Most importantly for me, the workaround brings the max CPU speed available with speed step back to what it is supposed to be on my laptop, and the BIOS actually boots much faster.
