Your ACPI tables or system management code access the it87. Since there's no
locking between the operating system and the firmware in this case, there's the
potential for simultaneous access and corresponding failure. Other machines may
not do this, which means that the it87 remains available.

The list of potential solutions seems correct. Alternatively, you can pass the
kernel option - this provides behaviour equivalent to the older kernel and is
no more dangerous than things were originally.
