Can we please stop all this madness of trying to support twenty thousand 
weird and wonderful laptop configurations in the kernel, merge dev_acpi 
instead and then do it all in userspace? It strikes me as massively more 
maintainable. That way we don't need vendors to patch kernels every time 
a manufacturer tweaks something - a small userspace update can be pushed 
out instead.
