To elaborate on the impact of disabling acpi(4); Theo wrote in bugs@:
Code:
Most modern PC's will not run if the ACPI code is disabled.  They will
break in a multitude of other ways, and you are not helping find the
bug AT ALL.  The least of the problem is that the fan might not run.

They might map reigsters wrong.  They might map interrupts wrong.  They
will route interrupts from from behind ppb bridges.  Disabling the acpi
codebase creates many crazy, crazy, crazy side effects.
