It is, as thinkpad implies laptop.

We will probably also have snd_thinkpad, for the ALSA module (if I make it
into its own module, which is probably a very good idea).

I'd jump in and get thinkpad_acpi for most of the stuff in ibm-acpi, but the
problem is that there used to exist an thinkpad-acpi module, by Erik
Rigtorp.  It never made it to mainline (I just checked, it is not in 2.6.9,
and ibm-acpi was added in 2.6.10 and completely superseeded Erik's module
which only did hotkeys).

I guess I can retake the name without too much problems after so long and
since it never made it to mainline AND it was not widely used, but still...

What do you guys think?
