This is really ugly.  What's the story on this firmware?  It sounds
defective to me.

Or is everybody that uses _DSM supposed to check before evaluating it?
E.g.,

  if (!acpi_check_dsm(...))
    return -EINVAL;

  obj = acpi_evaluate_dsm(...);

If everybody is supposed to do this, it seems like the check part
should be moved into acpi_evaluate_dsm().
