ACPICA: Disable preservation of SCI enable bit (SCI_EN)
Preserving this bit breaks some machines. Not preserving this bit seems to work OK in all cases, even though this goes against the ACPI spec. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13289 Signed-off-by: Bob Moore <robert.moore@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Lin Ming <ming.m.lin@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

+ * write a one to this bit after resume for the machine to work properly.
+ * To enable this, we no longer attempt to preserve this bit. No machines
