Pat,

Would you mind sending a copy of the FADT, also, please?  The first of the
ACPI messages is a check of version correspondence between the FADT and MADT,
while the second message is from looking at just an MADT subtable.  Thanks
for sending the MADT out -- that helps me quite a lot in thinking this through.

BTW, whoever is providing the BIOS (Lenovo, I assume) may want to have a look
at these, also:

[    0.000000] ACPI BIOS Warning (bug): 32/64X length mismatch in
FADT/Pm1aControlBlock: 16/32 (20150818/tbfadt-623)
[    0.000000] ACPI BIOS Warning (bug): Invalid length for
FADT/Pm1aControlBlock: 32, using default 16 (20150818/tbfadt-704)

Not inherently dangerous, but definitely sloppy and mind-numbingly easy to
avoid, IIRC.
