So what was the last kernel that worked ok for you?

There haven't been any changes to the it87 driver since 2.6.30, nor do I
see any ACPI changes that would be relevant. Of course, if you used to
build without any ACPI support at all, that region conflict wouldn't have
shown up, so it _could_ be config-dependent, but that sounds unliklely
too.
