If you call AcpiGetType on \_SB, you get "device" and \_TZ gives 
"thermal".  I don't think this is valid since these are system scopes, 
not devices and thermal zones.

I found this while testing a patch that scans the whole namespace (\) 
for devices.  It turns out some systems put PCI link devices (PNP0C0F) 
in \, so we weren't probing them.
