acpi problems and "stray irq6"

Hi folks,

first sorry for cross posting. I wasn't sure where I should post these
questions. 

I have a new notebook. Its a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo A 7640. Hardware, 
if that matters, is an AMD Athlon XP 3000+, SiS (somewhat) Chipset 
and 512MB Ram.

This notebook is running a recent 5-STABLE from a few minutes ago. The
bios version of the notebook should be the newest. Its dated on
09/17/2004.

At first there is a problem regarding the speed managment of the cpu.
Normally and acpi managed cpu should be controlable of the
"hw.acpi.cpu.throttle_state" sysctl. This sysctl doesn't exist. Without
this capability the cpu is all the time running at ~ 800 MHz, which
makes build world not really fast. ;)

Has anyone an idea how I could enable this feature?

The second problem is that I get these messages short after the boot:
'stray irq6' and 'stray irq1'. I had read in the FAQ thats this should't
be a problem, but based on "vmstat -i" the notebook hasn't an device on
irq 6. Thats curious I think.

The dmesg (normal + verbose), the acpidump and the printed hw.acpi tree
can be found at http://www.0xfce3.net/notebook/ .

If I could provide more information please let me know. I am very
willing to test patches. ;)

best regards,

	Gordon
