Hello Recently, I updated my kernel from 2.6.25 to latest .27 rc and found a problem. I have a dell latitude D510 laptop with a media bay slot. If I have any disk-like device inserted (CDRom or secondary disk) and remove it, acpi starts generating ~250 interrupts per second (found out by powertop) and kacpid and kacpid_notify start using all available CPU time. It stops after any disk-like device is plugged back in, however, inserting secondary battery does not help (which means replacing a CDRom with a battery has the opposite than desired effect, making the runtime shorter). By bisecting the kernel sources, I identified it to the commit 664d080c41463570b95717b5ad86e79dc1be0877 (ACPI: Properly handle bay devices in dock stations, from Linus's branch), which mentions you as an author. I would like to help to fix it, so if you need any information, I will try to get them. Also, I have some experience in programming and trying a development version of kernel is not a problem for me, but I did not yet get into kernel development.
