[PATCH v2] ACPI / EC: Fix an issue caused by the serialized _Qxx evaluations.

From: Lv Zheng
Date: Tue Aug 11 2015 - 23:12:45 EST


It is proven that Windows evaluates _Qxx handlers in a parallel way. This
patch follows this fact, splits _Qxx evaluations from the NOTIFY queue to
form a separate queue, so that _Qxx evaluations can be queued up on
different CPUs rather than being queued up on a CPU0 bound queue.
Event handling related callbacks are also renamed and sorted in this patch.
