Now this is a Acer TravelMate 5720G laptop with the latest 1.35 bios.
Distro is Mandriva Linux Cooker, and arch is x86_64

Attached is output of "grep ACPI /var/log/dmesg"
dmesg-acpi-20090903
- all acpi patches as of 2.6.32-rc1
This one does not have errors you've mentioned earlier, could you find dmesg with them?

Ah, sorry about that...
I should have done dmesg|grep ACPI to get the errors... it would have shown this too:
tg3 0000:02:00.0: wake-up capability disabled by ACPI
ACPI Exception: AE_TIME, Returned by Handler for [EmbeddedControl] (20090903/evregion-424)

dmesg-acpi-20090903-ec-2.6.31
- all acpi patches as of 2.6.32-rc1
- ec.c from 2.6.31.1


Should I start bisecting, or do you have any other suggestion?
There is only one patch which touch ec.c, 2a84cb9852f52c0cd1c48bca41a8792d44ad06cc. You may try to revert it, and see.


Isn't that what pretty much what I did when I built a kernel with the 2.6.31.1 ec.c ?

Anyway, after I applied your patch you just posted on acpi-devel:
ACPI: EC: Rewrite DMI checks

to the 2.6.32-rc1 tree the:

-ACPI Error (psargs-0359): [\_PR_.CPU0.CSTX] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND
-ACPI Error (psparse-0537): Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.LPCB.EC0_._Q2F] (Node ffff88013f81c1a0), AE_NOT_FOUND

does not show up at boot anymore, and so far I haven't seen the other errors either...

I'll post a follow-up if they show up again...


Bah...
I spoke too soon:

Could you please turn on timing information in printk ? Please also uncomment "#define DEBUG" in ec.c
