As this probably won't happen (soon) maybe it's indeed best to try to
create a kind of whitelist as you suggested. And of course a
blacklist, which could create pressure on manufacturers. I guess, not
only Linux is affected by a latency-killing BIOS, right?

The good thing is, that with barebones the
manufacturer often tries to
follow the standards a bit more, because in the long run it will make
it easier for them as far as support etc. is concerned. These
barebones are sold under various different brandnames, so they like to
keep this side of possible failures as small as possible.
Right, but I don't think there's any standard that says laptops must be
usable for low latency or prohibits the BIOS from implementing ACPI via
SMM...
The only way to be sure is if there were a vendor who sold laptops
certified for low latency.
