I don't like using virt_to_phys() here, but it seems that's what the
ACPI code expects.

        Method (AGFN, 1, Serialized)
        {
            If (LEqual (Arg0, Zero))
            {
                Return (GNBF)
            }

            Store (Zero, Local0)
            OperationRegion (\PARM, SystemMemory, Arg0, 0x08)
            Field (PARM, DWordAcc, NoLock, Preserve)
            {
                MFUN,   16,
                SFUN,   16,
                LEN,    16,
                STAS,   8,
                EROR,   8
            }

Any suggestions?
