"idle=halt" limits the idle loop to using
the halt instruction. No MWAIT, no IO accesses,
no C-states deeper than C1.
If something is broken in the idle code,
"idle=halt" is a less severe workaround
than "idle=poll" which disables all power savings.

Allow users to enable/disable/clear a specific & valid GPE/Fixed Event
in user space.
This is useful for debugging, especially for some
interrupt storm issues.
All wakeup GPEs are disabled and they can not be enabled at runtime,
and we mark them as invalid.
All GPEs that don't have a _Lxx/_Exx method are marked as invalid.
All Fixed Events that don't have an event handler are marked as invalid
and they can't be enabled until an event handler is registered.

The new-style max6875 driver implements the optional detect() callback
to cover the use cases of the legacy driver. I'm curious if anyone
really needs this though, so it might be removed in the feature.

The new-style pca9539 driver implements the optional detect() callback
to cover the use cases of the legacy driver.
Warning: users will now have to use the force module parameter to get
the driver to attach to their device. That's not a bad thing as these
devices can't be detected anyway.
Note that this doesn't change the fact that this driver is deprecated
in favor of gpio/pca953x.
