I'm not sure I have got it. GpioIo() has no such property and
_DSD active_low is documented as being polarity setting:

	active_low == 1 => active low polarity.

IRQ polarity is clearly defined by GpioInt() resource in the ACPI
specification.

ActiveLevel field is described in 19.6.55 GpioInt (GPIO Interrupt Connection
Resource Descriptor Macro).

This is nonsense.
What does it mean?
