I like this patch a lot and I plan to apply it because you've managed
to simplify the nasty _OSC path a little bit.  But I'm confused about
the justification.

My understanding is that DPC is under platform control until the OS
requests it via _OSC(Request, Control & OSC_PCI_EXPRESS_DPC_CONTROL)
and the platform grants it.  And after the OS is granted control of
DPC, it must preserve OSC_PCI_EXPRESS_DPC_CONTROL in all subsequent
_OSC calls (i.e., there is no way for the OS to relinquish DPC
control).

So what does it mean for "DPC to be under OS control, but the OS does
_OSC(Query, Control=0)"?  That doesn't sound like a legal sequence:
the OS has already been granted DPC control, but it failed to preserve
OSC_PCI_EXPRESS_DPC_CONTROL?

If instead you mean that the OS has *not* been granted DPC control,
but does _OSC(Query, SUPPORT=x, CONTROL=0), I think that means the OS
is telling the platform what it supports but not requesting anything.
That sounds legal to me, so if firmware complains about it, I would
say it's a firmware problem.

So I think we should do this, but not because it avoids a firmware
warning, which looks like a firmware bug to me.  We should do it just
because it simplifies this ugly code.

But please help me out if I'm misunderstanding something above.  I'm
never confident that I really understand _OSC.

Unrelated to *this* patch, but I don't understand the point of
OSC_PCI_SUPPORT_MASKS and OSC_PCI_CONTROL_MASKS.  These are all
internal static functions and it looks like pointless work to apply
masks here and in acpi_pci_osc_control_set().

I'm happy to make this change, but if you do it, please make it a
separate patch for bisection purposes.

We can also drop the "if (control)" check inside the ACPI_SUCCESS()
block, can't we?

Also not related to this patch, but it seems pointless to compute and
decode "support" above when we're not going to use _OSC at all.  I
think the "pcie_ports_disabled" test should be the very first thing in
this function (I'm assuming the "pcie_ports=compat" command line
argument *should* apply even on x86_apple_machine, which it doesn't
today).

Again, I'm happy to do this if it makes sense to you.

Or _OSC just failed because of an OS or firmware defect ;)
