This patch implements a solution for a BIOS hack used on some currently shipping Intel systems to address issues with power management policy decisions concerning PCIe NVMe drives. Some newer Intel platforms, like some Comet Lake systems, require that PCIe devices use D3 when doing suspend-to-idle in order to allow the platform to realize maximum power savings. This is particularly needed to support ATX power supply shutdown on desktop systems. In order to ensure this happens for root ports with storage devices, Microsoft apparently created this ACPI _DSD property as a way to override their driver policy. To my knowledge this property has not been discussed with the NVME specification body. Though the solution is not ideal, it addresses a problem that also affects Linux since the NVMe driver's default policy of using NVMe APST during suspend-to-idle would lead to higher power consumption for these platforms. The patch uses the previously added pci_acpi_storage_d3 function to check for the StorageD3Enable property during probe and enables D3 as a quirk if set. It also provides a 'noacpi' module parameter to allow skipping the quirk if needed.
