Hi,

I just got a new motherboard (GIGABYTE GA-EX58-UD3R) and I'm seeing
the following in the kernel log (2.6.31-gentoo-r6, which I believe is
basically 2.6.31.6)

...
[    0.000000] ACPI: TAMG 00000000cfee7330 00AE2 (v01 GBT    GBT   B0
5455312E BG^A^A 53450101)
...
[    0.713697] ACPI Warning: Incorrect checksum in table [TAMG] - 9D,
should be 9C 20090521 tbutils-246

acpidump shows:

TAMG @ 0xcfee7330
  0000: 54 41 4d 47 e2 0a 00 00 01 9d 47 42 54 20 20 20  TAMG......GBT
  0010: 47 42 54 20 20 20 42 30 2e 31 55 54 42 47 01 01  GBT   B0.1UTBG..
  0020: 01 01 45 53 44 54 3d 20 ef 00 08 00 0f 00 2c 01  ..ESDT= ......,.

So those ^A's are really in there, but it's a little annoying (and it
causes less to go into binary viewing mode when it shows up in
/var/log/messages). Would it be reasonable to add some kind of
escaping code for such situations so that it might print like
"BG\x01\x01"?

Thanks,
