And still calling _dispatch() should not be incorrect even if the GPE has been enabled already at this point. Worst case it just will queue up the execution of _Lxx/_Exx which may or may not do anything useful. And BTW this is all done under acpi_gbl_gpe_lock so acpi_ev_gpe_detect() will block on it if run concurrently and we've checked the status, so we know that the GPE *should* be dispatched, so I sort of fail to see the problem.
