Yep, I've got that too.  What happens is a series of GPEs occur during the
AcpiTerminate() process.  I'll be changing the ACPI shutdown process after
I do some more debugging of the source of the GPEs.  The interrupt storm
check is probably too sensitive in some non-runtime cases.

This is on the ACPI TODO list:
