So this caused a trivial conflict. No biggie, it wasn't bad and the
patch was acked by Rafael. However, looking at it made me somewhat
unhappy.

Should the device entry in ACPI really be hidden unconditionally? In
particular, if we are *not* running under virtualization, it sounds
wrong to hide it.

Comments? Am I missing something?
