From 71b58cbb0c30d1f78636a48c4721529449d6ea37 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zhang Rui Date: Fri, 20 Jun 2008 09:42:47 +0800 Subject: ACPI: Enhance /sys/firmware/interrupts to allow enable/disable/clear from user-space Allow users to enable/disable/clear a specific & valid GPE/Fixed Event in user space. This is useful for debugging, especially for some interrupt storm issues. All wakeup GPEs are disabled and they can not be enabled at runtime, and we mark them as invalid. All GPEs that don't have a _Lxx/_Exx method are marked as invalid. All Fixed Events that don't have an event handler are marked as invalid and they can't be enabled until an event handler is registered.
