+ * FUNCTION:    acpi_install_global_event_handler
+ *
+ * PARAMETERS:  Handler         - Pointer to the global event handler function
+ *              Context         - Value passed to the handler on each event
+ *
+ * RETURN:      Status
+ *
+ * DESCRIPTION: Saves the pointer to the handler function. The global handler
+ *              is invoked upon each incoming GPE and Fixed Event. It is
+ *              invoked at interrupt level at the time of the event dispatch.
+ *              Can be used to update event counters, etc.
