Title:
  Asus bu401la-cz084g laptop reboot instead of shutting down

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hello !
  Instead of shutdown, the asus laptop model bu401la-cz084g reboot on xubuntu 14.10 x86_64.
  Both graphical environment and command line lead to this.

  Passing acpi=noirq or acpi=force seems to work, but then keyboard and
  touchpad won't work.
