A can only guess: It probably means that the button is fixed

From
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Configuration_and_Power_Interface :
"ACPI-compliant systems interact with hardware through either a
"Function Fixed Hardware (FFH) Interface", or a platform-independent
hardware programming model which relies on platform-specific ACPI
Machine Language (AML) provided by the original equipment manufacturer
(OEM).
Function Fixed Hardware interfaces are platform-specific features,
provided by platform manufacturers for the purposes of performance and
failure recovery. Standard Intel-based PCs have a fixed function
interface defined by Intel,[10] which provides a set of core
functionality that reduces an ACPI-compliant system's need for full
driver stacks for providing basic functionality during boot time or in
the case of major system failure."
