pc: acpi: fix pvpanic for buggy guests
In the old times, we always had pvpanic in ACPI and a _STA method told the guest not to use it. Automatic generation dropped the _STA method as the specification says that missing _STA means enabled and working. Some guests (Linux) had buggy drivers and this change made them unable to utilize pvpanic. A Linux patch is posted as well, but I think it's worth to make pvpanic useable on old guests at the price of three lines and few bytes of SSDT. The old _STA method was Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized) { Store (PEST, Local0) If (LEqual (Local0, Zero)) { Return (Zero) } Else { Return (0x0F) }} Igor pointed out that we don't need to use a method to return a constant and that 0xB (don't show in UI) is the common definition now. Also, the device used to be PEVT. (PEVT as in "panic event"?) Signed-off-by: NRadim Krčmář <rkrcmar@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: NMichael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NMichael S.
