(it's in tip/out-of-tree) No, please don't :-) It fixes your particular case (the acpi_rtc_init() hunk of the patch), but the acpi_walk_namespace() part should be changed to a WARN(). But that is likely to cause a lot of "spurious" reports, so the other acpi drivers should be fixed as well. I was waiting for Len to reply, but maybe I can submit the proper fix too.
