Because of the deprecated message being shown on laptops booting with
the option enabled. I got a bugreport about it recently.
I could not please check_patch to properly include this commit id
(recon the double quotes in the title):

Revert "ACPI / AC: Remove AC's proc directory."
Revert commit ab0fd674d6ce (ACPI / AC: Remove AC's proc directory.),
because some old tools (e.g. kpowersave from kde 3.5.10) are still
using /proc/acpi/ac_adapter.
Fixes: ab0fd674d6ce (ACPI / AC: Remove AC's proc directory.)
kpowersave was written by myself and I can say for sure, that this stuff
is more than outdated.
Thanks,
Thomas
