msi-laptop, and asus-acpi is going to be replaced with asus-laptop (a
fixed-up asus-acpi that got a new maintainer a short while ago).

Other names I like:
	thinkpad-acpi (goes well with thinkpad-ec, thinkpad-smapi, etc)

	thinkpad (but I believe there is an out-of-tree outdated driver by
		that name?)

	tp-acpi (short and to-the-point :p, goes well with tp-ec and
		tp-smapi).
