I'm working my way through all the failures we've seen, but just to get 
the ball rolling, I offer this one as an example:

    1. 00054 summary         High failures: 1
    2. 00055 summary          klog test, at 1 log line: 15
    3. 00056 summary           "HIGH Kernel message: [ 1918.822903]
       [Firmware Bug]: ACPI: No _BQC method, cannot determine initial
       brightness"


Seen when running reboot tests. I assume the net effect of this bug 
would be to reset the brightness upon every boot? Or would it break the 
brightness control completely?
