Given the number of people having problems with ACPI now its
 	enabled by default, would there be any sense in having a kernel
 	option which disables ACPI on PIII and earlier CPUs? That should
 	leave it enabled in all the new machines where its needed, but
 	have it off by default on the older machines where it has a
 	good chance of causing problems.
