I agree that I don't see anything in the ACPI spec v6.3 about what
should happen if we supply a Function Index that isn't supported.
That looks like a hole in the spec.

So my question, and I guess this is really for Rafael, is that since
it seems like *everybody* needs to use acpi_check_dsm() in order to
use acpi_evaluate_dsm() safely, why don't we move the check *into*
acpi_evaluate_dsm()?
It's just error prone if we expect everybody to call both interfaces.
