I have identified the source of the breakage on my box, but I don't really
think it's the same problem that Edwin is observing.

Namely, it turns out that some code in arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c, as in
today's linux-next, doesn't really make sense, because we have two conflicting
DMA-based quirks in there for the same set of boxes (HP nx6325 and nx6125) and
one of them actually breaks my box.

I have reported that already, but it probably got lost somewhere.

Below is a patch that fixes things for me, on top of today's linux-next.
Please apply.

Thanks,
Rafael

Remove some code that breaks my HP nx6325 from arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c.
