    ACPI: extend "acpi_osi=" boot option · ae00d812
    Len Brown authored
    The boot option "acpi_osi=" has always disabled Linux _OSI support,
    thus disabling all OS Interface strings which are advertised
    by Linux to the BIOS.
    
    Now...
    acpi_osi="string" adds the interface string, and
    acpi_osi="!string" invalidates the pre-defined interface string
    
    eg. acpi_osi="!Windows 2006"
    would disable Linux's claim of Vista compatibility.
