+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.
