I assumed that's what it was, but it's helpful to use the same terms
used by the specs to make things easier to find.  I don't think it's
actually the case that "Firmware First" necessary applies to the
entire system, since the ACPI FIRMWARE_FIRST flag is a per-error
source thing, not a per-system thing.
