Subject:   ACPI problem: sio ports improperly attached with ACPI on Intel L440GX+

I'm attempting to use an Intel L440GX+ motherboard with 5.x, and am
running into the following problem: when I boot without ACPI, the serial
ports probe, attach, and work fine: 

Mar 23 14:21:56 none kernel: sio0 at port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on isa0
Mar 23 14:21:56 none kernel: sio0: type 16550A
Mar 23 14:21:56 none kernel: sio1 at port 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa0
Mar 23 14:21:56 none kernel: sio1: type 16550A

When I boot with ACPI, the following appears in dmesg: 

Mar 23 14:14:31 none kernel: sio0: configured irq 4 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0
Mar 23 14:14:31 none kernel: sio0: port may not be enabled
Mar 23 14:14:31 none kernel: sio0 port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on acpi0
Mar 23 14:14:31 none kernel: sio0: type 16550A
Mar 23 14:14:31 none kernel: sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0
Mar 23 14:14:31 none kernel: sio1: port may not be enabled
Mar 23 14:14:31 none kernel: sio1 port 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on acpi0
Mar 23 14:14:31 none kernel: sio1: type 16550A

And sure enough, when using ACPI, interrupts don't work properly with the
serial ports, resulting in them essentially being unusable (stuff goes
out, but not in, except once in a while when the silo overflows).  I
notice that, unlike my other 5.x boxes, sio0 and sio1 seem to attach to
acpi0, rather than isa0 as one would expect, so I guess it's not entirely
surprising that the interrupts aren't working right. 

Any suggestions about how I might go about diagnosing and remedying this
problem?
