ACPI 6.3 Errata A no longer allows _UID to be string except Itanium
for historical reasons as stated in section 5.2.12. Therefore, it is
redundant to comment "we don't handle string _UIDs yet" which implies a
feature is missing.
"From ACPI Specification 6.3 onward, all processor objects for all
architectures except Itanium must now use Device() objects with an _HID
of ACPI0007, and use only integer _UID values."
