Bug description:
  SRU Justification:

  Impact: The wireless hotkey is not working on those Dell machines,
     Dell Inspiron 7737/7537/5437/3437 and Vostro 3446, due to the BIOS
  doesn't handle Win8 OSI.

  Fix: Adding those machines into quirk list that disable WIN8 OSI by
  default.

  Testcase: Tested on Dell Inspiron 7537

  CID: 201306-13867 Dell Inspiron 7537

  The wireless key is not working on this system.
  Steps:
  1, Install 14.04 + update (3.13.0-30), boot to desktop
  2. Try to disable the wireless network / Bluetooth by pressing the wireless key

  Expected result:
  * Wireless network / Bluetooth should be disabled.

  Actual result:
  * Nothing happened

  Debug information:
  ubuntu@201306-13867:~$ sudo showkey -k
  kb mode was ?UNKNOWN?
  [ if you are trying this under X, it might not work
  since the X server is also reading /dev/console ]

  press any key (program terminates 10s after last keypress)...
  keycode  28 release
  keycode 240 press
  keycode 240 press
  keycode 240 press
  ^Ccaught signal 2, cleaning up...

  xev cannot detect any wireless key event

  Bug 1289238 is similar to this one, but it's "Fix committed" for
  Trusty, maybe not released yet.
