[PATCH] acpi-wmi: Enable event methods when registering notifiers

[Matthew Garrett]

According to the ACPI-WMI spec, event blocks may provide a function call 
for enabling/disabling them. This patch adds support for making these 
calls when registering or removing notifications. Without this, my Dell 
firmware provides no data in the event notification.
