But that's on this particular machine, not in general, right?

At least I don't see this on any of the systems in my office.

It looks like this may be related to the ACPICA changes that went in
during the 4.17 cycle.

related to this in theory.  If that doesn't help, I'd focus on the
ACPICA changes.
