Microsoft decided not to implement support for it in Windows, it's
essentially there for embedded style x86 platforms running Linux so they
don't need to reimplement so many wheels and can just reuse existing DT
bindings but it causes problems if you want to run Windows (and possibly
some of the enterprise Linux distros, I can't remember if any of them
had concerns about it) on the platform.
