urgh, yes, thanks.

I thought about that but there's more cleanup needed, GPE isn't 100%
signal-safe yet, there's at least one caller that may screw up here. 
squash one bug, two more come out of the woodworks...

Either way, please ignore this patch for now, it was only exposed due to a
new proposed change in the wacom driver and I've already put said patch
on hold for backwards compat issues.

Cheers,
