[Imre Kaloz <kaloz@xxxxxxx>]

The patch will be part of 3.12, and will find it's way to stable kernels
as well. Ubuntu maintainers should take care of it being merged as soon
as possible.

I'll resize my partitions so will do a factory reset and write up a
howto about the whole process - just waiting for further info for fixing
up audio. Legacy bios mode has a few other issues as well, it should be
avoided. EFI booting still needs "libata.force=noncq" for now to avoid
random pauses.

Bug description:
  Ubuntu fails to properly boot on Macbook Air 2013 6,1

  Ubuntu fails to boot the 13.10 live image from usb without specifying
  acpi-off as a boot parameter.

  After installation is complete the boot process hangs at a purple
  screen. Booting into recovery mode shows that the process stops at the
  following:

  smpboot: Booting Node 0, #1

  I've tried 12.04.2, 13.04, and 13.10. I've also tried booting with
  kernel ver 3.9.8-030908-generic and the result is the same.
