I think we want to move this stuff into build_q35_osc_method:
"SUPP" seems to be 0, CTRL should be a variable passed in.

In fact build_q35_osc_method needs to be cleaned up.
It stores result in "CTRL" which should be documented.

"SUPP" seems to be unused.

A bunch of comments missing.

More importantly, its an unserialized method but it creates a bunch of
fields so attempts to run two of these in parallel will crash.
I see the same in ACPI spec which probably means it should be
revisited with a critical eye.
