That's more likely to have been a problem with my other patches, ripping out the QUERY_PENDING flag and GPE polling, with (what were to Alex) predictably bad results. You're right this patch needs testing on it's own. But the current code is definitely wrong. If the "GPE polling" workaround is triggered, and there is a series of events > one every 0.5s, the EC buffer can overflow. All it needs is an ACPI hotkey with fast enough autorepeat. And I bet it's not just my EC that breaks horribly when that happens.
