Originally, when there was some custom ASL needed for Linux, the guidance for Linux-friendly OEMs was to introduced a new string in the APCI tables and discuss it on the kernel mailing lists. This lead to 3 strings being introduced. Those strings now have the original problems fixed in the kernel and have since been removed. The kernel no longer advertises any custom Linux-* _OSI strings for OEM use. It was discovered that these removed strings were actually being abused to detect Linux for unrelated reasons, so drop the encouragement for new ones to be added.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
