File a bug, if pci=noacpi is ALWAYS the correct thing to do with a 600E
using its LATEST BIOS, then it should be added as a quirk to the kernel,
AFAIK.

That said, there is a !@#$%!@# bug on everything since 2.6.23 that
caused all sort of machine-fixup PCI quirks to be skipped(!!).  It might
well be that there is a quick for the 600E already in there, but it is
not being activated on 2.6.23, 2.6.24 and 2.6.25.

Anyway, please file the bug on bugzilla.kernel.org.
