Any time it returns something close to 100, it means the ACPI firmware
wants a brightness level meaning 0% to 100%, which has to be mapped
(preferably through a proper curve) to a hardware level.

Well that's DRI and ACPI video's problem, thinkpad-acpi shouldn't be
touching that.  We just need to be a lot more silent about it :-)
