Subject: [PATCH v4 3/3] ACPI / EC: Enable noirq stage event detection

This patch enables noirq stage event detection for the EC driver.

EC is a very special driver, required to detecting events throughout the
entire suspend/resume process. Thus this patch enables event detection for
EC during noirq stages to meet this requirement. This is done by making
sure that the EC sleep APIs:
  acpi_ec_block_transactions()
  acpi_ec_unblock_transactions()
rather than the EC driver suspend/resume hooks:
  acpi_ec_suspend()
  acpi_ec_resume()
are the boundary of the EC event handling during suspend/resume, so that
the ACPI sleep core can tune their invocation timing to handle special BIOS
requirements.

If this commit is bisected to be a regression culprit, please report this
to bugzilla.kernel.org for further investigation.
