Bisect flags commit eb09878e1301 "ACPI: sysfs: Change
ACPI_MASKABLE_GPE_MAX to 0x100" in -next as the reason for a boot
regression in my qemu-kvm test environment. It spews:
[ 1.456728] ACPI: Masking GPE 0x0.
...
[ 161.721420] ACPI: Masking GPE 0x0.
...and then hangs.
A straight revert gets the configuration back on its feet.
