From 287c14f79a31e5700dfd966bee19393fb8600f95 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Matthew Garrett <matthew.garrett@nebula.com>
Date: Fri, 9 Mar 2012 08:39:37 -0500
Subject: [PATCH] ACPI: Limit access to custom_method
custom_method effectively allows arbitrary access to system memory, making
it possible for an attacker to circumvent restrictions on module loading.
Disable it if any such restrictions have been enabled.
