[PATCH 3/3] acpi: remove GPE polling

[Alan Jenkins]

From: Alan Jenkins <alan-jenkins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This should fix "[regression] display dimming is slow and laggy",
<http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10919>.  It has a similar effect
on my Asus EeePC.

Much of this is stolen from Alexey Starikovskiy's fix (see Bugzilla).  But
the previous two GPE fixes should have avoided the need to disable GPE
interrupts.
