This is from the PCI Firmware Spec.
"The _OSC interface for a PCI/PCI-X/PCI Express hierarchy is identified by the
Universal Unique
IDentifier (UUID) 33db4d5b-1ff7-401c-9657-7441c03dd766."
"The UUID in _DSM in this context is {E5C937D0-3553-4d7a-9117-EA4D19C3434D}"
Maybe I should use a macro definition for them.
