DSDTs on this site are not for general use - they are my own personal 
collection 
for reference when developing acer_acpi - they are in no way modified from the 
originals I receive (except perhaps for adding a few comments here and there).

I'm closing this bug as, I know that acer_ec.pl can lock up certain Acer 
laptops - 
unfortunately, there's not much we can do about this (we don't even know for 
certain which EC registers reads trigger the hard lock ups on different 
systems, 
and just poking about at random in the EC in general is a rather unsafe thing 
to do 
at the best of times).
