Hm. Again we have the question of whether to export 'threshold_pct' vs. 'threshold_abs', or whether to have a separate string property which says what the 'unit' of the threshold is. I don't care much -- I'll do whatever DavidZ prefers. The git tree now has support for battery information available from the PMU on Apple laptops. I _really_ don't like the way I have to register a fake platform_device just to be able to get sensible attribute callbacks. I suspect it should go back to being a class_device and we should fix the class_device attribute functions.
