Hello

Since my hardware lacks capabilities testing this, I have emulated it on qemu:
https://github.com/montjoie/qemu/commit/320f2ddacb954ab308ef699f66fca6313f75bc2b

I have added a custom ACPI _DBX method for triggering some ACPI state change. (like config change, like enabling CAP).

For testing config change I have tried lot of way:
                res = read_capabilities(resource);

        default:

But nothing force visibility to be rerun.

Any idea on how to force visibility to be re-run ?
