What if we turn off the WinBlue debounce behavior for GPIO0 and then just hardcode some sane debounce values for it, overriding whatever the DSDT _AEI entries contain ?

Sorry, the acpi_os_execute() function name gave me the impression that this would actually call some ACPI defined function, since normally in acpi speak execute refers to an ACPI table defined method.

But that is not the case here it is just a wrapper to deferred-exec the passed in function pointer.

To be clear I was hoping that there was an ACPI defined (AML code) function which would maybe clear the GPIO for us and that that was maybe not working due to e.g. some opregion not being implemented by Linux. But no AML code is being executed at all, so this is all a red herring.
