I can only find the first two in Grant's document, not the third one,
and I don't think it's on the table any more. The argument that was
in there was that for a given platform that wants to support both
Linux and Windows, they can use ACPI and Linux should work with that,
but that is different from "all servers must use ACPI", which would
be unrealistic.
