It is undestandable the patch changes how most/all stdarg functions are
compiled in the kernel, the question is why the kernel cares in certain cases. 
Do you get some OOPS in the utxferror case or also silent hang without being
able to tell what is going on?  In ACPI case, I'd guess if the routine calls
into BIOS that the BIOS (or whatever qemu uses instead of BIOS) might assume
16-byte stack alignment which is part of the ABI, but the kernel intentionally
only guarantees 8-byte stack alignment.
