SubjectRe: [PATCH 3/5] ACPI: EC: Add a limited number of repeats after false EC interrupts

The moving to an interrupt thread will enable a lot of cleanups
in fact. A lot of the existing code could be simplified now that
you can sleep. A lot of the nasty code was simply a workaround
for that.

I don't have plans to work on this however, since my laptop
works now (sorry). But I believe the patchkit is a good base
for further cleanups.
