No, please don't :-)

It fixes your particular case (the acpi_rtc_init() hunk of the patch),
but the acpi_walk_namespace() part should be changed to a WARN(). But
that is likely to cause a lot of "spurious" reports, so the other acpi
drivers should be fixed as well.

I was waiting for Len to reply, but maybe I can submit the proper fix too.
