What does "en" stand for?
en stands for "enable"
"piix4.acpi-root-hotplug" (with the dot) would give a rough idea what
property of what device is being probed (even though neither the
"device" name nor the property name is exact in my example)
OK for this one I will wait and see what Laine thinks. Its a trivial
change.
