[Watford] Kworker running like mad

Hi Guys,

for some reason Kworker seems to be running at between 30 and 65% of my 
CPU usage on this laptop. I know it has something to do with ACPI but 
what? Google tells me that lots of people had the problem on the 2.6.36 
kernel but haven't seen anything for the 3.2.0.26 kernel I am running, 
in fact there is nothing from a 3.x kernel. No one seems to have a solid 
answer so.... Any ideas?

Many thanks

Adam Lowe
