**Quoting acpi-20020419 changelog**
Fixed a problem where the per-ACPI-table integer width (32
or 64) was stored only with control method nodes, causing a
fault when non-control method code was executed during table
loading.  The solution implemented uses a global variable to
indicate table width across the entire ACPI subsystem.
Therefore, ACPI CA does not support mixed integer widths
across different ACPI tables (DSDT, SSDT).

Have you tried that patch yet?
