+Subject: [stable] [PATCH] Reduce ACPI verbosity on null handle condition
+
+From: Bob Moore <robert.moore@intel.com>
+
+As detailed at http://bugs.gentoo.org/131534 :
+
+2.6.16 converted many ACPI debug messages into error or warning 
+messages. One extraneous message was incorrectly converted, resulting in 
+logs being flooded by "Handle is NULL and Pathname is relative" messages 
+on some systems.
+
+This patch (part of a larger ACPICA commit) converts the message back to 
+debug level.
