The OSYS comes from this (in DSDT):

                If (_OSI ("Windows 2009"))
                {
                    OSYS = 0x07D9
                }

                If (_OSI ("Windows 2012"))
                {
                    OSYS = 0x07DC
                }

                If (_OSI ("Windows 2013"))
                {
                    OSYS = 0x07DD
                }

                If (_OSI ("Windows 2015"))
                {
                    OSYS = 0x07DF
                }

So I guess this particular check tries to identify Windows 7 and older,
and Linux.
