Both drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_acpi.c and drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_acpi.c call _DSM methods with parameters of _DSM(Buffer, Integer, Integer, Integer).  The ACPI spec defines the parameters to be _DSM(Buffer, Integer, Integer, Package).  On a UL30VT, the AML preforms operations on Arg3 which are not valid for an Integer data type, resulting in ACPI faults.  Excerpt of DSDT:

Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)
{
    If (LEqual (Arg0, Buffer (0x10)
            {
                /* 0000 */    0xA0, 0xA0, 0x95, 0x9D, 0x60, 0x00, 0x48, 0x4D,
                /* 0008 */    0xB3, 0x4D, 0x7E, 0x5F, 0xEA, 0x12, 0x9F, 0xD4
            }))
    {
        Store (Zero, Local0)
        Store (ShiftLeft (DerefOf (Index (Arg3, 0x03)), 0x18), Local0)
        Add (ShiftLeft (DerefOf (Index (Arg3, 0x02)), 0x10), Local0, Local0)
        Add (ShiftLeft (DerefOf (Index (Arg3, One)), 0x08), Local0, Local0)
        Add (ShiftLeft (DerefOf (Index (Arg3, Zero)), Zero), Local0, Local0)
        ...

The Index operation is only valid on a Buffer, String, or Package, which is perfectly reasonable given the definition of the _DSM call.
