ACPI regressions

[Mike Makonnen]

I upgraded my laptop to 5.2-BETA from 5.1-RELEASE a few weeks ago and was
extremely happy to find that acpi was working much better. However, after
the recent upgrade of ACPI in 5.2-CURRENT, all the problems that had been
fixed reappeared. My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 5100 with Dell BIOS A23.
The symptoms are:
o The acpi battery information is invalid
o The acpi temperature information is invalid
o The following message is repeated several times on the console when it boots:
     -0166: *** Error: UtAllocate: Attempt to allocate zero bytes

Cheers.
