So

#ifdef CONFIG_ACPI
#include <linux/pci-acpi.h>
static inline int get_hp_hw_control_from_firmware(struct pci_dev *dev)
{
        u32 flags = OSC_SHPC_NATIVE_HP_CONTROL;
        return acpi_get_hp_hw_control_from_firmware(dev, flags);
}
#else
#define get_hp_hw_control_from_firmware(dev) (0)
#endif

So if you build your guest without acpi, things should work fine.
