Hi Len,
I don't work at HP any more, so I no longer have access to systems which
use this.
However, we have a horse-and-cart situation here -- if Linux doesn't
support GPE blocks, BIOS vendors won't be able to use them. Since they
are specified in the ACPI standard, we probably *ought* to support them.

I'll have to see if my new employer is willing to let me spend time on
it ;-)
