This message would have been triggered by the off-by-one error before my 
fix (86 is just below 87, which is on the list).

The check is now:
if ((addr >= port[0] && addr <= port[1]) ||
     (addr < port[0] && addr + (width / 8) > port[0]))

Which gives (with addr = 86 and width = 8):
86 >= 87 ...  FALSE
86 < 87 (TRUE) && 86 + 1 > 87 (FALSE) ... FALSE

You can try it yourself with (play around with addr and width):

main()
{
int addr = 0x86;
int width = 8;
int port[2] = { 0x87, 0x87 };

if ((addr >= port[0] && addr <= port[1]) ||
     (addr < port[0] && addr + (width / 8) > port[0]))
         printf("BUGGY BUGGY BIOS\n");
else
         printf("KRAD!\n");
}

So the code is correct.  Please be sure you have the right version that 
matches this code snippet above and recompile your acpi module (or 
entire kernel) and reinstall it.

The correct version is 1.20.
