Bug Description

Although the ACPI spec in section 5.2.9 states that the 32 bit and the 64 bit firmware controls should not be both defined at the same time, the reality is that it is on a lot of firmware and the the kernel uses the 64 bit version if both are defined. So just remove this test as it causes more harm than good.
