Linux-4.11.6 was released 5 hours ago with the EFI patch included and it's already in testing repo
edit: I have tried the version from testing and it fixes the issue on my system.
That is awesome!
Yes, I also confirm that the last update fix the issue.

]]>Fix for EFI booting is now in the stable-queue https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ke … ress.patch
So 4.11.6 or 4.12 whichever is released first both should contain the last fix to resolve the issue.
That's great, thanks for sharing this info
]]>Looks like both patches for BIOS and EFI boot will be included in 4.12 (Linux-4.12-rc5 announcement)
Sounds good.. looking forward for the new kernel..

Mine
The "is not in" referred to my edit changing "the issue for your system in not present in the 4.10 series" to "the issue for your system is not present in the 4.10 series" if I recall correctly.
Edit:
Grammar is not in
Edit2:
Commit for the bios booting issue is now in mainline https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ke … 1006405159
Grammar? Yours or mine?
Commit in mainline. Great, now we wait
]]>However, I'm wondering about this ACPI issue. You see,
I upgraded 3 other systems to 4.11.2 without a hitch.
Only an x79 chipset machine hung. I simply downgraded
back to 4.10.13.Then I realized soemthing. One of my systems has had ACPI
issues from day one and never hung. And this ACPI issue
has been around for years ( from my net searches ) in one
form or another.
This seems to be conflating all ACPI issues as the same issue as you yourself note the issue for your system is not present in the 4.10 series
so it was introduced during during the 4.11 cycle which is has not been around for years.
Which gets me to the point; while it is excellent to have a fix
in the form of a patch in place
If the system is bios booting have you tried the patch to verify it is the same issue and that the fix works?
If the system is not bios booting there is no patch for the issue and upstream requires feedback.
I'm wondering why the
upstream guys have never bothered to simply replace their
ACPI ( and other BIOS feathures handling code ) with something
a bit more robust? Is it really acceptable in their minds
to have a system that hangs in precisely this manner?
Have you asked upstream?

This bug is about the commit that probably introduced the issue.
