Probably not. Len?

Hmm, we could probably just use a work queue for this instead. I guess i 
drank the threaded
interrupt kool aid too much when I did the patch :-)

I'll switch over to a workqueue.

Meanwhile the patch can be just reverted. The patch that needed it 
(delays in EC access to
work around buggy Acer EC) was not merged by  Len so far, so there's 
nothing in tree right
now that relies on the thread.

For 3.4 I think reverting is the right approach.
