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
