Subject: [PATCH] pvpanic: handle missing _STA correctly

pvpanic was not properly detected when _STA was missing.

ACPI 6.0 April 2015, 6.3.7 _STA (Status)
  If a device object (including the processor object) does not have an
  _STA object, then OSPM assumes that all of the above bits are set
  (i.e., the device is present, enabled, shown in the UI, and
  functioning).

Not adhering to the specification made pvpanic dormant under QEMU 2.3.
