Of course the one that BIOS provides. This hardcoded mapping tables is
a fallback for *old* BIOSes which do not have _DSD.

The magic happens internally in ACPI core.
Whenever one calls gpiod_get() with a name on ACPI-enabled platform,
_DSD would be checked first.

Patches are welcome, I think.

Btw, is there any existing hardware on the market with such BIOS?
