[PATCH v2 8/9] ACPICA: Events: Add a flag to disable internal auto GPE clearing.

[Lv Zheng]

Clearing the status bit means OSPM acknowledges the GPE and the hardware
then can bring follow-up events up. Acklowdging it too early causes OSPM
seeing level triggered GPE storms or missing edge-triggered GPEs if the
OSPM driver responds slowly. Some drivers may choose to implement GPE
condition clearing code in a position that is different from where it
should be disabled or re-enabled, in which case, the internal auto GPE
clearing operations should be abandoned.

This flag facilitates such driver designs and implementations.

Note that drivers will need to invoke acpi_clear_gpe() manually in a proper
position where the causes and conditions of the GPE have been solved and
the GPE status can be safely cleared. Lv Zheng.
