Subject: [PATCH 4/(3+1)] Add quirks for ACPI PCI slot detection driver

ACPI spec says that OSPM checks with the bus driver for _ADR devices
to verify the presence of the device. But there are hardwares that
provide _STA for PCI hotplug slots to indicate the presence of the
device. For those hardwares, we want to ignore _STA and evaluate _SUN
by force, otherwise PCI hotplug slots would not be detected.
