ACPI 6.1 states that in the revision changes 4.0a Apr.2010 (xiii) "Consumer/Producer bit is ignored (Restored 2.0C change that had been lost)" and still that bit is marked as valid. If it is not reliable it should be set as "ignored" in the specs (as it was on ACPI 2.0C, BTW), as it is it is just a source of confusion. Thanks again !
