Gabriel followed my instructions to setup HECI/MEI and he says that it works, now. What is required, is that more people test that. If enough people can confirm this, then we could talk to distributions to automatically integrate this.
I don't know why Intel doesn't care for this - they should know!
I'm just a kernel developer for storage with a hobby interest in ACPI and reverse engineering. My colleague with this issue has already sold his Samsung laptop again.
E.g. on LinuxTag in Berlin most speakers come with an IBM ThinkPad or a Mac. The ThinkPad guys have connections to ThinkPad ACPI developers from Japan. This is why they have so good Linux support. But in the thinkpad driver you can also see indication for reverse engineering in comments like "unknown magic constant".
