Public bug reported:

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.
