ACPICA: Events: Introduce acpi_set_gpe()/acpi_finish_gpe() to reduce divergences This can help to reduce source code differences between Linux and ACPICA upstream. Further driver cleanups also require these APIs to eliminate GPE storms. 1. acpi_set_gpe(): An API that driver should invoke in the case it wants to disable/enable IRQ without honoring the reference count implemented in the acpi_disable_gpe() and acpi_enable_gpe(). Note that this API should only be invoked inside a acpi_enable_gpe()/acpi_disable_gpe() pair. 2. acpi_finish_gpe(): Drivers returned ACPI_REENABLE_GPE unset from the GPE handler should use this API instead of invoking acpi_set_gpe()/acpi_enable_gpe() to re-enable the GPE. The GPE APIs can be invoked inside of a GPE handler or in the task context with a driver provided lock held. This driver provided lock is safe to be held in the GPE handler by the driver.
