Unfortunately to pick up all the power management goodness, the information has to be defined somewhere - this is what ACPI is for.  Either you disable ACPI and lose a lot of functionality, or you follow what ACPI defines to get all the power mangement goodness and unfortunately sometimes pick up bugs in the ACPI tables.  You buy a PC, you get ACPI. Hewlett-Packard, 
Intel, Microsoft, Phoenix Technologies and Toshiba for ACPI :-)
