I think what you want is "GPIO signaled ACPI event". It works so that
you declare _AEI method below the GPIO controller listing the GPIOs you
want to trigger events for and then either _Lxx, _Exx or _EVT method for
each of them under the same controller. GPIO core then handles it
automatically when you register the GPIO chip. See also
acpi_gpiochip_request_interrupts().
