It seems that acpi_gbl_parse_table_as_term_list is a new flag in
v4.9-rc1. Changing the flag to TRUE in in include/acpi/acpixf.h has no
effect other than:

    ACPI: Executed 2 blocks of module-level executable AML code

changing into:


    ACPI: 2 ACPI AML tables successfully acquired and loaded

That was tested using v4.9-rc2-40-g9fe68ca + debug patch from previous
mail, but with a slightly modified QEMU command (to allow the device to
become visible in Windows Device Manager) and slightly modified SSDT1:

    qemu-system-x86_64 -M pc,accel=kvm -m 2G -acpitable file=ssdt1.aml \
        -net none -device pci-bridge,addr=12.0,chassis_nr=2,id=head.2 \
        -device isa-debugcon,iobase=0x402,chardev=dbug \
        -chardev file,id=dbug,path=/dev/stdout ...

With this command and Windows 10 (-drive file=w10.qcow2), I can see that
the power resource methods are invoked (stdout | grep PR_TEST):

    PR_TEST: NVP3._ON
    PR_TEST: NVP2._OFF
    PR_TEST: _PS0
    PR_TEST: _S0W
    PR_TEST: NVP3._ON
    PR_TEST: _PS0

Using the above test setup with Linux (-kernel arch/x86/boot/bzImage):

    PR_TEST: _S0W

If you think that the default runtime PM state affects this, note that
the dmesg also shows:

    ACPI: \_SB_.PCI0.S90_: Adding power resources for device:14? 0
