It's a BIOS bug, just like using any other undefined reserved name. In this
case, it could very well be a serious bug since the intent may have been to use
another similar name such as _S4D. Which is really one of the reasons for
having the compiler check the reserved names in the first place.

As said, I do not expect this is sever, but if HP wants to stay spec conform
and avoid "fails" with Intel's Linux firmwarekit (and at some day get a
SUSE/Novell certification for such BIOSes), they should make sure to not use
this function.
