[PATCH 0/3] Rework GPE handling

[Matthew Garrett]

The current GPE code attempts to define GPEs as either runtime (the 
default), wake or run/wake. These states are orthogonal to whether or 
not a GPE is actually enabled or not. Further, various additional flags 
are defined and set, but never used.

This architecture is additionally complicated by changing the type of a 
GPE causing it to be disabled, resulting in complex functions that then 
have to conditionally re-enable a GPE. It also makes it impossible to 
determine how many consumers a given GPE has, preventing us from 
being able to implement runtime power management for devices requiring 
GPEs for wakeup notification.

This patchset adds a new, simpler API and transitions the existing users 
over to it. It then removes the old code.
