Ugh no, please don't go around calling random ACPI methods from untested
firmware revisions / device models.

ACPI code (even Apple's I have learned) tends to be full of bugs. If we
did not need to call GMSP before then please lets keep not calling it
on the older models. Just because it is there does not mean that calling
it is useful, it might even be harmful.
