Is there an upstream bug report for this? It would be nice to have a reference somewhere so we can tell if we can remove the check in future... thanks -- PMM

There is an issue with iasl on big endian machines: It cannot disassemble acpi tables taken from little endian machines, so we cannot check the expected tables. Do not run iasl on those machines until this problem is solved by the acpica community.
