ACPI0004 seems too new: Windows XP complains about an unrecognized device. This is a regression since 1.7. Use PNP0A06 instead - Generic Container Device.
Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <m...@redhat.com> --- Note: Igor has RFC patches to use PNP0C02 under PCI0, but that's not ready for 2.0. Igor, could you comment on whether PNP0C02 is preferable for some OS-es? For PNP0A06 ACPI spec says: PNP0A06 Generic Container Device. This device behaves exactly the same as the PNP0A05 device. This was originally known as Extended I/O Bus. This ID should only be used for containers that do not produce resources for consumption by child devices. Any system resources claimed by a PNP0A06 device’s _CRS object must be consumed by the container itself. PNP0C02 is not in ACPI spec. It does appear in MicroSoft legacy PNP ID document: PNP0C02 General ID for reserving resources required by Plug and Play motherboard registers. (Not specific to a particular device.)
