Shut up a kernel error or avoid it by configuring Prometheus Node Exporter

Let me start by giving the output which I get to see in /var/log/syslog and with dmesg: [559151.898586] ACPI Error: SMBus/IPMI/GenericSerialBus write requires Buffer of length 66, found length 32 (20170831/exfield-427) [559151.911578] No Local Variables are initialized for Method [_PMM] [559151.911580] No Arguments are initialized for method [_PMM] [559151.911584] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed \_SB.PMI0._PMM, AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT (20170831/psparse-550) [559151.916648] ACPI Exception: AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT, Evaluating _PMM (20170831/power_meter-338) Clearly the [Prometheus Node Exporter](https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter) is *triggering* the error, although it *doesn't seem to be the cause* for the error that gets logged. Now what I want to achieve is - preferably - to tell the Prometheus Node Exporter to stop querying for whatever information it's attempting to query. Failing that, I'd like to silence these messages so they don't spam my log files. How would I go about either of these options? ... or perhaps there are other options I haven't considered ... This is happening on Ubuntu 18.04 with the packaged prometheus-node-exporter (it also happened with the 0.16 and 0.17 versions of prometheus-node-exporter which could be installed via stretch-backports - yes, on Ubuntu).
