These patchs are done with asus_acpi.c from 2.6.19 . So it can be applied to 
2.6.19 and 2.6.20-rc1 (as there is no change for asus_acpi in 2.6.20-rc1).

The change in the mm tree are :   
	- Backlight support
	=> It's nearly the same code (patch 10/22)
	- no more useless cast
	=> It's ok (patch 7/22)
	- Add support for A6VA, M6V, W5F, V6V, A4S
	=> It's ok, but more features are supported in my patchs.
	And the implemention is cleaner, as I use my parse_method()
	function instead of adding special case in get_lcd_status()
	(see patch 5/22 and 6/22)
	- Swap W5A and W3V
	=> It's ok,  (patch 19/22)
	- Invert wled status
	=> I don't do it, as it's a mistake. I tested on A6T, A6J, F3JM, and the
	wled value don't need to be inverted.

The change in the acpi-test tree are :
	- Backlight support
	=> done
	- no more useless cast
	=> done
