Description Andy Grover 2003-03-18 14:01:50 UTC 
ACPI has an interface for devices who know what their GPE is to enable it for 
wake, but most of the time a device doesn't know what its GPE is, and it must 
be determined by calling _PRW.

We need to add a function that hides this complexity from drivers. Preferably 
it will take only the ACPI device handle.

We will also need to add a non-ACPI-specific version for other drivers to call.
