NAK: The entire point of GPE is that it's a unified interface that
generates all events necessary (core, Xi, MPX).  IMO, the best idea
would be to send each event (or the list of events) back to the driver
for conversion.  After all, this is why GPE returns the events back to
the DDX, instead of enqueuing itself.
