I disagree.
what feature is lost? If OSI("Windows 2006") brings some errors, it means that
Linux doesn't supported it. We can not fix it right now as how the BIOS works
in Linux is not not tested before release. :(
acpi_osi= is just a workaround for such problems.

I think nothing is wrong when loading a NULL signature table. The error message
is clear and reasonable.
Linux should NEVER load such a table, maybe that piece of memory is not a table
at all.
