when I talked to Len about it he implied/said that these would only
happen for ACPI code bugs (and not bios bugs). Maybe he was
overestimating what the code would actually do; if so it would imo be
well worth splitting out ACPI code assertions versions things that are
BIOS caused (if only to be able to inform the user more consistently)
