zone code. The GPE handler method (i.e. _L00) generates various Notify
events that need to be run to completion before the GPE is re-enabled.
In ACPI-CA, we queue an asynch callback at the same priority as a Notify
so that it will only run after all Notify handlers have completed. The
callback re-enables the GPE afterwards. We also changed the priority of
Notifies to be the same as GPEs, given the possibility that another GPE
could arrive before the Notifies have completed and we don't want it to
get queued ahead of the rest.
The ACPI-CA change was submitted by Alexey Starikovskiy (SUSE) and will
appear in a later release. Special thanks to him for helping track this
bug down.

instead for the time being. Intel should fix this.
Note that if this commit is correct, it is made on the vendor branch.
We expect the Intel folks to fix it, and we don't want to unnecessarily
take files off the vendor branch.

ACPI_DEBUG case. Without this, use of allocated memory is unaligned and
causes a trap on ia64. Intel may fix this differently in a subsequent
release but this is adequate for now.

be sure to increment the refcount of the argument so it is not
prematurely deleted. This is a workaround and may appear in a different
form in ACPI-CA. This fixes battery evaluation on Thinkpads that was
