What is weird is:

1
[    3.970863] ACPI: SCI (IRQ9) allocation failed
[    3.970906] ACPI Exception: AE_NOT_ACQUIRED, Unable to install System 
Control Interrupt handler (20110413/evevent-119)
[    3.970911] ACPI: Unable to start the ACPI Interpreter

IRQ9.. It looks like it really wants to use 9 instead of 20.

Looking at the code it does:

144         status =
145             acpi_os_install_interrupt_handler((u32) 
acpi_gbl_FADT.sci_interrupt,
146                                               acpi_ev_sci_xrupt_handler,
147                                               acpi_gbl_gpe_xrupt_list_head);

So it uses the acpi_glb_FADT.sci_interrupt.  I think the best path
is to stick a bunch of printks  in drivers/acpi/osl.c in 
acpi_os_install_interrupt_handler
and see what gsi, acpi_gbl_FADT.sci_interrupt, and what 'irq' end up being.

Ok, let me look at them in some more details.
