If your code knows about specific AML methods, then it is by-definition,
ACPI-aware, and can't be hidden (completely) behind PNP.

Either that, or some ACPI-aware code needs to exist to intervene to
allow your code to know know anything about ACPI.

So you could make it ACPI aware like 8250_acpi.c was, before it was
deleted...
