Len,                                                                                                                                                  

Here is the second and third batches of thinkpad-acpi changes for the
merge window (target: 2.6.24).

I have taken into account the comments about the brightness levels, and
now I do the detection without touching _BCL, and allow the user to select
which kind of backlight interface he wants at runtime.  The default *is*
the ACPI generic backlight interface.

There are also a few fixes, and the third batch adds support for NVRAM
polling of hot keys, needed by older thinkpads.

Please merge this batch to acpi-test.  I have rebased the git tree to
linus' latest, since there was a change in mainline that touched
thinkpad-acpi (no conflicts, though).

As usual, the patch set is available at:
git://repo.or.cz/linux-2.6/linux-acpi-2.6/ibm-acpi-2.6.git for-upstream/acpi-test
