Apple hardware queries _OSI("Darwin") in order to determine whether the system is running OS X, and changes firmware behaviour based on the answer. The most obvious difference in behaviour is that Thunderbolt hardware is forcibly powered down unless the system is running OS X. The obvious solution would be to simply add Darwin to the list of supported _OSI strings, but this causes problems. Recent Apple hardware includes two separate methods for checking _OSI strings. The first will check whether Darwin is supported, and if so will exit. The second will check whether Darwin is supported, but will then continue to check for further operating systems. If a further operating system is found then later firmware code will assume that the OS is not OS X. This results in the unfortunate situation where the Thunderbolt controller is available at boot time but remains powered down after suspend. The easiest way to handle this is to special-case it in the Linux-specific OSI handling code. If we see Darwin, we should answer true and then disable all other _OSI vendor strings. The next problem is that the Apple PCI _OSC method has the following code: if (LEqual (0x01, OSDW ())) if (LAnd (LEqual (Arg0, GUID), NEXP) (do stuff) else (fail) NEXP is a value in high memory and is presumably under the control of the firmware. No methods sets it. The methods that are called in the "do stuff" path are dummies. Unless there's some additional firmware call in early boot, there's no way for this call to succeed - and even if it does, it doesn't do anything. The easiest way to handle this is simply to ignore it. We know which flags would be set, so just set them by hand if the platform is running in Darwin mode.
