Joseph: The best kernel patch so far was made by Kieran Clancy (see post #18 here). His patch is attached to a kernel bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44161 in comment 149.

I'm just the author of the userspace workaround (post #3, #4, #14) that started it all (see the other issue here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi/+bug/971061 comments 102 onwards) . It is a standalone program that unstucks the EC. On the other hand, Kieran's kernel patch now does the same in a cleaner way from inside the kernel.

In my humble opinion, Kieran Clancy's patch can be included in the kernel. I don't know whether Kieran will submit it.

Cheers!
