+==================================================
+QEMU and ACPI BIOS Generic Event Device interface
+==================================================
+
+The ACPI *Generic Event Device* (GED) is a HW reduced platform
+specific device introduced in ACPI v6.1 that handles all platform
+events, including the hotplug ones. GED is modelled as a device
+in the namespace with a _HID defined to be ACPI0013. This document
+describes the interface between QEMU and the ACPI BIOS.
+
+GED allows HW reduced platforms to handle interrupts in ACPI ASL
+statements. It follows a very similar approach to the _EVT method
+from GPIO events. All interrupts are listed in _CRS and the handler
+is written in _EVT method. However, the QEMU implementation uses a
+single interrupt for the GED device, relying on an IO memory region
+to communicate the type of device affected by the interrupt. This way,
+we can support up to 32 events with a unique interrupt.
+
+**Here is an example,**
+
+::
+
+ Device (\_SB.GED)
+ {
+ Name (_HID, "ACPI0013")
+ Name (_UID, Zero)
+ Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate ()
+ {
+ Interrupt (ResourceConsumer, Edge, ActiveHigh, Exclusive, ,, )
+ {
+ 0x00000029,
+ }
+ })
+ OperationRegion (EREG, SystemMemory, 0x09080000, 0x04)
+ Field (EREG, DWordAcc, NoLock, WriteAsZeros)
+ {
+ ESEL, 32
+ }
+ Method (_EVT, 1, Serialized)
+ {
+ Local0 = ESEL // ESEL = IO memory region which specifies the
+ // device type.
+ If (((Local0 & One) == One))
+ {
+ MethodEvent1()
+ }
+ If ((Local0 & 0x2) == 0x2)
+ {
+ MethodEvent2()
+ }
+ ...
+ }
+ }
+
+GED IO interface (4 byte access)
+--------------------------------
+**read access:**
+
+::
+
+ [0x0-0x3] Event selector bit field (32 bit) set by QEMU.
+
+ bits:
+ 0: Memory hotplug event
+ 1: System power down event
+ 2-31: Reserved
+
+**write_access:**
+
+Nothing is expected to be written into GED IO memory
