Events: Introduce AcpiMaskGpe() to implement GPE masking mechanism
There is a facility in Linux, developers can control the enabling/disabling of a GPE via /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpexx. This is mainly for debugging purposes. But many users expect to use this facility to implement quirks to mask a specific GPE when there is a gap in Linux causing this GPE to flood. This is not working correctly because currently this facility invokes enabling/disabling counting based GPE driver APIs: AcpiEnableGpe()/AcpiDisableGpe() and the GPE drivers can still affect the count to mess up the GPE masking purposes. However, most of the IRQ chip designs allow masking/unmasking IRQs via a masking bit which is different from the enabled bit to achieve the same purpose. But the GPE hardware doesn't contain such a feature, this brings the trouble. In this patch, we introduce a software mechanism to implement the GPE masking feature, and AcpiMaskGpe() are provided to the OSPMs to mask/unmask GPEs in the above mentioned situation instead of AcpiEnableGpe()/AcpiDisableGpe().
