Classic, I only built with Y, sorry.

acpi_bus_get_status_handle is not exported, so a simple solution would
be to make it so.  Or it's possible to rewrite the patch in a way that
uses current infrastructure.

Would you prefer a patch to export it, a build fix on top of
b8f8cf6b02b6 or a replacement patch?

Thanks.

A fix on top of b8f8cf6b02b6:
---8<---
pvpanic: use acpi_bus_get_status to fix build

The previous version used acpi_bus_get_status_handle, which was not
being exported, so module build blew up;  switch to acpi_bus_get_status
and use the status it populates.

Populated status is a bitfield so we can make the code self-documenting.
We do not check 'present' because 'enabled' has to be false in that case
by specification.  Older QEMUs set 0xff to status and newer ones do 0xb.
