Try google.  See, for example:
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=845442>
<https://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commitdiff;h=4f600ada70beeb1dfe08e11e871bf31015aa0a3d>

I would have said that this was a BIOS bug, but the patch suggests that 
Linux is being too stringent.
