In the old times, we always had pvpanic in ACPI and a _STA method told
the guest not to use it. Automatic generation dropped the _STA method
as the specification says that missing _STA means enabled and working.
Some guests (Linux) had buggy drivers and this change made them unable
to utilize pvpanic.
A Linux patch is posted as well, but I think it's worth to make pvpanic
useable on old guests at the price of three lines and few bytes of SSDT.
The old _STA method was
Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized) {
Store (PEST, Local0)
If (LEqual (Local0, Zero)) {
Return (Zero) }
Else {
Return (0x0F) }}
Igor pointed out that we don't need to use a method to return a constant
and that 0xB (don't show in UI) is the common definition now.
Also, the device used to be PEVT. (PEVT as in "panic event"?)
