No bugs, then.  It is a Lenovo BIOS issue.  Which doesn't mean we can't do
anything about it (besides asking Lenovo for a fix), but I am not sure of
what.

It is probably best if thinkpad-acpi switches the ThinkPad to ACPI
brightness mode, and report this on syslog... but I have to think about it
first, and ask around for a bit.

BTW, if I was sure it was a better idea to use the ACPI video interface
before, I am more even so now.  Depending which adapter (acpi video 0 or 1)
you use it on, it does a lot of weird stuff, including checking the state of
the AC adapter and using that for something, plus it uses a new UCMS (CMOS)
command, 0x16, which I have no clue about.
