Have you found whether some systems are afflicted by this ?

In fact that OS allacates the acpi_wake_address follows the below two
functions:
reserve_bootmem(0, PAGE_SIZE, BOOTMEM_DEFAULT);
reserve_bootmem(PAGE_SIZE, PAGE_SIZE, BOOTMEM_DEFAULT);

The above mechanism can insure that the acpi_wake_address is in memroy
below 1M. (It is unncessary to apply the patch. IMO)

Of course the addressing check will be more strict after this patch is
applied.
