I just tested 0328 on my thinkpad a21e. I noticed two problems right away.
First, I couldn't get battery status at all. Second, the following
messages were scrolling by about once a second:

ACPI-1284: *** Error: Method execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.ISA_.EC__.AC__._PSR] (Node 0xc25c2640), AE_NOT_EXIST
ACPI-1284: *** Error: Method execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.ISA_.EC__.I2RB] (Node 0xc25c6c40), AE_NOT_EXIST
ACPI-1284: *** Error: Method execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.ISA_.EC__.BAT0._BST] (Node 0xc25c42a0), AE_NOT_EXIST

Sorry, I haven't had a chance to do all the debugging you asked for, I'm
going to try and get to the other patch set first to see how much
difference it makes.
