Windows as I understand it has vendor mechanisms to allow the bits
shipped with the OS to override/ignore just about everything trip points
included. Lots of hardware that requires fixups in Linux and just works
in Windows is not Linux bugs but Windows magic .inf files and other
registry gunge done by the machine vendor. We see this in ATA, in power
management and elsewhere.
