Hi, Joey
   Thanks for your work.
   Your proposal about the workqueue flood detector is very good. But maybe it
is too agressive. If it is applied, it will have side effect:
   the kacpid/kacpid_notify workqueue will be deferred for some time. And it
will have an impact on the performance. For example: The notifiy event will be
sent to some device when GPE interrupt is processed. It will take more time to
process the notification event. Before the notification event is processed, the
corresponding GPE will be disabled. If some delay time is added, it will have
impact on the performance.

   At the same time the workqueue flood detector can't solve the problem. OS
still needs to process a lot of work tasks caused by the broken BIOS. Of course
the kacpid/kacpid_notify usage will be decreased.

   IMO the patch about the workqueue flood detector is too agressive and have
some side effects. Anyway we can discuss it in acpi_mail list.

   thanks.
