This ACPI "unknown exception code" problem is the same one reported here:
  http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-acpi%40vger.kernel.org/msg02873.html

Basically, we just need to revert this:
  http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.18-rc4/2.6.18-rc4-mm3/broken-out/hot-add-mem-x86_64-acpi-motherboard-fix.patch

The above patch happened to fix a hot-add memory problem, but it was
the wrong fix, and we're working out a better one.
