Yes.

The module would more properly be called 'wistron-wmi', as it turns out that
Lenovo and other manufacturers also use them to produce some of their laptops
(though the bulk are Acer).

What would be more useful is for someone to enable debugfs and look at the
value of <debugfs path>/acer-wmi/devices - my theory is that this should be
actually returning 0 on machines where the WMI interface doesn't work; we can
then make acer-wmi check for that in WMID_set_capabilities() and bail as
appropriate.

If that's not the case, then we can consider the blacklisting route.
