System Firmware Capabilities Bit Mask
These bit-flags identify the remote-control features supported by the system firmware. These bits
are very similar to the Boot Options bit mask in the RMCP boot-related messages; see 3.2.4.1.
They are slightly different because this format uses a capability bit for each encoding in the
RMCP command to identify individual option support.
Note: These capabilities reflect the RMCP support provided by the managed client (as identified
via its ACPI implementation, see 4.1.2.6 ASF_RMCP), and its alert-sending device.
