Christopher M. Penalver the only noticeable impact is a delay in the boot process. As you can see in the dmesg file there is a delay of about 3 secs. It's not a great delay, but if you consider that I have an ssd it is noticeable.

[ 3.757032] pci 0000:00:1d.0: EHCI: BIOS handoff failed (BIOS bug?) 01010001

I also thought that it was affecting my USB devices (wireless mouse) as you can see in this bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1299400

However, when I have updated to the 3.14 kernel, despite the fact that the "bios handoff failed" error continued to appear in dmesg, my USB devices were working properly.

I will try the latest rc kernel and report back to you asap!
Thank you for your interest!
