I don't think encoding an ACPI path from the BIOS of a random machine
here is the right approach. The path components are completely
implementation-dependent, and we'll end up carrying this test forever,
long after the last Aspire S5 is in the landfill.

We need a more generic approach that covers this case. It would be
interesting to see the rest of the ACPI namespace details under
RP05.HRUP. I guess we have RP05.HRUP._ADR, at least. I'm not sure
what the BIOS is trying to tell us by providing
RP05.HRUP.HRDN.EPUP._RMV, but maybe we could figure it out if we knew
more about HRDN and EPUP.
