Here's a bug: guest thinks it can eject VGA device and ISA bridge.

This is wrong because slots 1 and 2 are marked as not hotpluggable
in qemu.

The reason is that our acpi tables declare both _RMV with value 0,
and _EJ0 method for these slots. What happens in this case
is undocumented by ACPI spec, so linux ignores _RMV,
and windows seems to ignore _EJ0.

The correct way to suppress hotplug is not to have _EJ0,
so this is what this patch does: it probes PIIX and
modifies DSDT to match.

With these patches applied, we get:

[root at dhcp74-172 ~]# ls /sys/bus/pci/slots/1/
address
[root at dhcp74-172 ~]# ls /sys/bus/pci/slots/2/
address

I had to add a bit of compile-time infrastructure to handle the
runtime patching in a simple way. I expect that
it will be possible to reuse it if we need to
patch other methods in the future.

Michael S. Tsirkin (4):
  acpi: generate mixed asl/aml listing
  acpi: add aml/asl parsing script
  acpi: EJ0 method name patching
  acpi: remove _RMV
