ACPI: Make _OSI(Linux) a special case

_OSI("Linux") is like _OS("Linux"), it is ill-defined and
virtually no BIOS vendors test interaction with it.
As a result, it can do more damage than good because
it causes the BIOS to follow un-tested paths.

Recently, several machines have turned up that erroneously
test this string in a way which causes them to _not_ test other
compatibility strings, including the ZI9 and Toshiba.
So it appears that this bad code has made it into
a BIOS vendor's reference BIOS.

Linux has no choice but to stop advertising compatibility
with _OSI string "Linux" - as there are an unbounded
number of possible incompatibilities going forward.

But some BIOSes have already shipped which do use it
for things like conditionally re-enabling video on resume
from S3.  (Too bad they didn't do that unconditionally)

Add special case code for _OSI(Linux)
Squawk to dmesg if _OSI(Linux) is requested
Add DMI list both to enable and disable _OSI(Linux)
But for now, keep the default enabled via
#define OSI_LINUX_ENABLED.
