commit c91d924e3af08d4f98eab6ebf81f2b8ce132448f
Author: Bob Moore <robert.moore@intel.com>

ACPICA: Fix for hang on GPE method invocation

Fixes problem where the new method argument count validation mechanism
will enter an infinite loop when a GPE method is dispatched.
Problem fixed be removing the obsolete code that passes GPE block
information to the notify handler via the control method parameter pointer.
