+Description:
+               All ACPI interrupts are handled via a single IRQ,
+               the System Control Interrupt (SCI), which appears
+               as "acpi" in /proc/interrupts.
+
+               However, one of the main functions of ACPI is to make
+               the platform understand random hardware without
+               special driver support.  So while the SCI handles a few
+               well known (fixed feature) interrupts sources, such
+               as the power button, it can also handle a variable
+               number of a "General Purpose Events" (GPE).
+
+               A GPE vectors to a specified handler in AML, which
+               can do a anything the BIOS writer wants from
+               OS context.  GPE 0x12, for example, would vector
+               to a level or edge handler called _L12 or _E12.
+               The handler may do its business and return.
+               Or the handler may send send a Notify event
+               to a Linux device driver registered on an ACPI device,
+               such as a battery, or a processor.
+
+               To figure out where all the SCI's are coming from,
+               /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts contains a file listing
+               every possible source, and the count of how many
+               times it has triggered.
