This patch must be dropped completely. SCI handler is not correct way to do
this. The proper way (and we have already few examples in the kernel) is to
register GPE event.

It took me a while to gather all bits of this puzzle.

At least now I get an event, but kernel oopses, I'll continue debugging
tomorrow.
