my idea of how to it was,
guest writes its version into [0x14] register and reads QEMU version
from it back, if they do not match then than BIOS ignores GPE.3 event
effectively disabling hotplug on guest side.
I haven't thought about supporting multiple implementations in QEMU though.
Do we really want it?

After OSPM issued device check on selected device it clears this bit to mark event
as handled.
It allows to avoid keeping this state in ASL (as it's done for CPU hotplug, see CPON)

ASL will issue device check and clear bit, it might be a bug since _STA would report
not present but no eject event was issued.

Papering over it ASL could check present bit first and issue device check only if
it's present.

Thanks, I'll fix it.

see "write access: [0x0-0x3]"

I've lost you here, could you elaborate pls?

I'm following pattern, where reading from not present IO port returns 0xFF on hardware.
Fact that ASL reads 0xFF could be used as not supported indication.
