As pointed out by cube@ who looked at the dsdt dump, it has code like:
Method(VLOC, 1) {
BreakPoint
...
This is a firmware bug, unfortunately present even in the latest
embedded controller firmware. I'll write up a small guide on how to
compile a kernel with a patched dsdt, and publish it somewhere.
(After which I think we can close this PR.)
If you google for Thinkpad x40 BreakPoint you'll notice we're not
the only OS who hit this issue.
