Agree. The naming is a bit confusing. In nemu they have a separate virt-acpi
dev which makes use of GED. Here, we are rolling those two into one. I am
still not very sure whether we should leave it as virt-acpi, because the actual
device on which this is implemented can be changed eg, GED vs GPIO.

Ok. I have added comments to that effect in patch #10, but I think I will make 
it
clear here as well.
