Title:
  kworker consuming cpu due to GPE13 interrupt storm on Fujitsu A544

Status in Linux:
  Unknown
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in linux source package in Wily:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  On Fujitsu A544 laptop (and likely others) fitted with SSD, kworker
  takes 100% of one core of CPU due to GPE13 interrupt storm

  See upstream bug https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53071

  The bug can be identified by repeatedly running 
  cat /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe13
  where a rapidly increasing count will be seen.

  Workaround:
  sudo sh -c 'echo "disable" > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe13'
  disables it until reboot
  Using 
  sudo crontab -e
  and adding the line
  @reboot echo "disable" > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe13
  works around for subsequent boots.
