Rename the ibm-acpi driver to thinkpad-acpi. ThinkPads are not even made
by IBM anymore, so it is high time to rename the driver...
The name thinkpad-acpi was used sometime ago by a thinkpad-specific hotkey
driver by Erik Rigtorp, around the 2.6.8-2.6.10 time frame. The driver
apparently never got merged into mainline (it did make some trips through
-mm). ibm-acpi was merged soon after, making its debut in 2.6.10.
The reuse of the thinkpad-acpi name shouldn't be a problem as far as user
confusion goes, as Erik's thinkpad-acpi apparently didn't get widespread
use in the Linux ThinkPad community and most hits for thinkpad-acpi in
google point to ibm-acpi anyway.
Erik, if you read this, please consider the reuse of the thinkpad-acpi name
as a compliment to your effort to make ThinkPads more useful to all of us.
