Add an API to execute _OSC. A lot of devices can have this method, so add a

On all these printks, it would be very useful to have some indication
of what the OS requested and which specific _OSC method we executed,
e.g., an ACPI device name or a namespace path.


I think the following printk is confusing and should be removed.

+			printk(KERN_DEBUG
+			       "Firmware did not grant requested _OSC control\n");

People might think something wrong is happening on OS or firmware.
Actually I had been asked about this message several times.
