However, I would think that the host OS would look at this flag and realize that it should not be doing certain ACPI hardware-related things up front, rather than later when it finds out that a write to some ACPI hardware fails because the hardware isn't there. Do you mean we should change the ACPI device driver instead of changing the ACPICA code? that would be a hard job, because hardware ACPI is used everywhere.
