+ * A Quirk Mechanism for GPE Flooding Prevention:
+ *
+ * Quirks may be needed to prevent GPE flooding on a specific GPE. The
+ * flooding typically cannot be detected and automatically prevented by
+ * ACPI_GPE_DISPATCH_NONE check because there is a _Lxx/_Exx prepared in
+ * the AML tables. This normally indicates a feature gap in Linux, thus
+ * instead of providing endless quirk tables, we provide a boot parameter
+ * for those who want this quirk. For example, if the users want to prevent
+ * the GPE flooding for GPE 00, they need to specify the following boot
+ * parameter:
+ *   acpi_mask_gpe=0x00
+ * The masking status can be modified by the following runtime controlling
+ * interface:
+ *   echo unmask > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe00
+ */
+
+/*
+ * Currently, the GPE flooding prevention only supports to mask the GPEs
+ * numbered from 00 to 7f.
