I have an issue with converting exception codes and error/warning messages like
this to always point a finger at the BIOS. The fact is that we don't always
know for sure whether this is a BIOS problem or not. In some cases, it is
likely to be the BIOS, but in other cases we don't really know the culprit
until the problem is debugged.

The cases where we know for sure that we have a BIOS problem are things like
(for example) when we find bad values in the FADT. As far as interpreter
execution, however, there is always the chance that there is an interpreter
bug, or some other problem associated more with ACPICA or the host OS rather
than the BIOS itself.
