That's a typo, should be ACPI. It includes a more complete ACPI
subsystem that is necessary in some laptops to, for example, correctly
route interrupts. In mine, without it, sound does not work at all. I
don't know if it could potentially have any impact in latency, probably
not. It greatly improves sound in mine :-)
