Title:
  [Asus X750LN] High ACPI event count causing ~12% non-stop CPU
  utilization

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in linux source package in Utopic:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  This started as soon as I installed Ubuntu when I bought my laptop,
  about 3 months ago. Due to other bugs with the kernel that Ubuntu
  uses, I switched to the latest mainline kernel available and that
  resolved the issue for me. At the time, this was
  3.16.3-031603.201409171435_amd64 . Ubuntu(14.10) itself is using
  3.16.0-28-generic at the moment.

  For only 16 minutes of uptime, cat /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe_all yields this: 
  50867044

  Which is over 50 million interrupts. To illustrate the rate at which those events are fired, I ran this command: 
  cat /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe_all && sleep 10 && cat /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe_all  and the result was: 
  58397255
  58916975

  A little over half a million interrupts in 10 seconds.

  Again - this doesn't happen in the 3.17 kernel. At this point, I'm not
  sure whether this is a regression or if the fix hasn't gotten to
  Ubuntu yet.
