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.
