Not to begin with.  It's likely many modules will never need to be 
disabled by default or can't be disabled without breaking the rest of 
ACPI (i.e., the EC) so I'll deal with those as they come up.  So it 
doesn't make sense to define an automatic mapping between quirks and the 
debug.acpi.disabled tunable.

Also, I intend for the quirks system to work around bogus behavior also 
and want to save bits for that vs. just making it an outright blacklist.
