The gory details are there: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/7/6/876

Basically, some data structure (acpi_madt_generic_interrupt) grew by 4
bytes from ACPI 5.1 to 6.0, but BAD_MADT_ENTRY only knows about the new
size, and not the old one.

When booting on an old(er) version of ACPI, the interrupt controller
tables are ignore (not the right size), and the machine stops booting
very early.

Thanks,
