The Generic Event Device is a hardware-reduced ACPI specific device, but kernels supporting both fixed and hardware-reduced ACPI hardware should be able to probe it dynamically.
For that purpose, here are 2 patches: - The first one makes the GED device probe fail on non hardware-reduced platforms. - The second one disable the conditional evged build.
