Have you checked the hint at the very beginning of the gist  
"apparmor/security configuration changes may be needed". I dimly remember  
that I had to do this when migrating from Debian 10 to Debian 11?
There is even a comment in the gist about it linking to
<https://egirland.blogspot.com/2018/12/get-rid-of-that-fng-permission-denied_7.html>

Also, did you try the `sudo strings /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/MSDM`  
suggested in the comments already?

NB: IIRC, back when I migrated all my Windows VMs from VirtualBox to KVM, I  
had to re-activate them all...

HTH and YMMV
