Ideally, yes.  However, I am not so sure if we can call it a "bug" 
because AcpiEnterSleepState() must be called with interrupt disabled 
and there is no way to change that API without breaking other OSes.  
We can only work around it locally or persuade upstream to find a 
better way to do this in ACPICA itself.  Either way, it will be 
pretty hackish. :-(
