Ok.

More to the point, no machines i have in my vicinity has a PCI device
dedicated to the ACPI. QEMU(old chipsets?) needed it to simplify
delivery of SCI (which must support sharing and be level sensetive)
having PCI device simplifies this somewhat (even though i believe QEMU
does it wrong currently)

There is zero functionality in 7113 or whatnot, it is/was simply a
convenience feature.
