Ack.  But I am sure I will have to change this hunk a bit on
thinkpad-acpi 0.20.  This is not a big issue, and if you prefer, I can
handle adding the above support for thinkpad-acpi 0.20 since it is
likely going to be merged late due to its dependency on some stuff for
the LED class that needs to be in mainline first...

Otherwise, merging it now is also fine for acpi-test, and I will resend
the thinkpad-acpi queue adjusted accordingly.
