                    If (\_OSI ("Windows 2006"))
                    {
                        Store (0x40, ^OSTB)
                        Store (0x40, ^TPOS)
                    }

                    If (\_OSI ("Linux"))
                    {
                        Store (0x01, LINX)
                        Store (0x80, ^OSTB)
                        Store (0x80, ^TPOS)
                    }

Like other Acers...
LINX is written but never read, a NOP
OSTB is compared to >=4 only, so the Linux branch above is a NOP
OSTP return value is never referneced, a NOP

However, TPOS is referenced in the ATA _STM and _PS0 method,
wher it is compared equal to 0x40.  OSI(Linux) will disable
that code (whatever it does).

So unless you find the power management of your HDD to be better
with acpi_osi=Linux at suspend/resume time,
we'll stick with the default of acpi_osi=!Linux for all Acer.

thanks,
