I first liked the idea of making the ec device more global for others
to access.
But thinkpad_acpi is doing the same already in another way.
I think best is to move the thinkpad implementation of getting
ACPI handles based on HIDs to osl.c and make it global.
I'll send patches.
Please review them carefully, they are only compile tested.
