The input/output of _BQC/_BCL/_BCM control methods should be represented
by a number between 0 and 100, and can be thought of as a percentage.
But some buggy _BQC/_BCL/_BCM methods use the index values instead.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12302
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12249
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12037

Add the functionality to support such kind of BIOSes in ACPI video driver.
